I drive about 45,000 miles a year as an OSHA Consultant in and around the Carolinas and the East Coast. I have discovered that my nuvi has been saving me miles and gasoline. It has taken me from one point to another by ways and roads that I would never have used if I were using the old fashion road map.  Some of these roads are not even shown on regular road maps, It has also saved me time because I do not have to do any research on how to get from where I am to where I need to go. You need to make ads for TV that show the attributes of saving gasoline – time and money. I paid over $1,000 for my nuvi and it has really paid off. Today it took me between two points 27 miles apart within my own area through roads I did not know would connect me. Without the nuvi I would have driven several more miles and it would have taken me more time and gasoline to get there.

Garmin cross country! I'm a surgeon from NYC. I drove across the country to San Francisco last year with my fiancee to start a year long fellowship and Garmin helped us find the way. We made trip, never got lost, and even did some sight seeing. When I came back to NYC to start practicing, Garmin help me find hospitals and patients all across the NYC, tristate area. Now I'm practicing in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and northern Jersey at 4 different hospitals, I rely on Garmin to get there on time and be ready to take care of my sick patients. I couldn't have done it without the aid of GPS. I thank you for helping me and my patients.
