[QUOTE="yukonjack, post: 2487945, member: 2939"] Get a handheld gps. You can find some good deals on the older garmin etrex versions. Extra batteries. Get a map set that shows all the roads including residentials between your work and your home. You can download free map sets off of the internets. Then you can do all kinds of stuff. Mark routes, make waypoints, set up tracks. Knowing where you are and how far it is to your next option or detour is invaluable. Don't rely just on a gps on your phone. Many of those rely on cell phone towers. If those go down you're screwed. I use mine on trails that I hike on a daily basis. Most of the time it's not because I'm worried about getting lost but I can also track how far and how fast or slow I am moving. I also have one of my data fields that shows sunrise/sunset. That helps a lot for planning. As for your vehicle it'll do fine. Just keep it full and in good reliable repair. [/QUOTE]
