The truck has been a mobile command center for the last few days, so I thought I'd share a picture of what we are dealing with. On the left windshield is the Garmin Nuvi GPS Nav for guidance on directions, estimated time of arrival, total mileage, etc. We call her Gladys. On the right side is Bryan's Motorola Droid Phone being used to stream Pandora radio off the internet and played through the truck's stereo system. It is also running Google Navigation with traffic and weather warnings. We both have Macbook laptops that get WiFi from a Verizon MiFi that is up on the dash under the clock.....it basically uses cell signal to give us wireless highspeed internet access for the laptops.
It is cool to be able to download pictures and blog while hanging out in the passenger seat, or just surf the net. The funnies part however, is when we pull off an exit to get gas or whatever. Both GPS devices notice we are off the intended path, and they both start bitching at us in womens's voices, talking over each other and telling us to make legal u-turns and other rubbish. Very funny, but kinda scary at the same time.
