A GPS is an excellent idea, especially if you are traveling alone. You can get a simple one for under $100, and they are very user friendly. It allows you to relax and concentrate on your driving rather than worry about where you are and what turn you need to make next. I drove from Pgh. to The Villages by myself with a talking bird (never shut up the whole way) and with the GPS, we were fine. My husband was driving the other car with the quiet dog and a GPS, and he was bored.

Can't tell you how much relief it is to have something telling you where to go rather than trying to read a triptik while driving. Good luck!
