SUMMARY

Knowing where you are isn’t always as easy as glancing at a computer screen, but in this case that’s all it takes. If you plan your trip, and if you have someone along to navigate, you can save a lot of time by using this approach. But for goodness sakes – be safe! If you’re going to try this alone, please pull over and stop the car before you try to read the computer screen. Using a GPS and a laptop won’t solve all of your problems, but it will sure save you some time.
