For some reason that I can’t begin to explain, when I am in an unfamiliar city, surrounded by many lanes of busy traffic, I turn into a raging lunatic.  In fact, I suspect that I sort of resemble the guy pictured to the right.

Many years ago, while driving through very congested Chicago traffic, we were approaching one of those spaghetti bowls of off-ramps.  You know the kind; you are in 8 lanes of traffic, driving at 65 miles/hour, bumper to bumper, you’re in the middle lane, and you must immediately choose between six possible off-ramps.

Further, if you choose the wrong one, you wind up in the wrong part of the city, and you are never heard from again.

Well, when I am in this situation, for some reason, this completely irrational madman appears behind the wheel of our car, and I begin to resemble the Tasmanian Devil.

In fact, while driving once in rush hour traffic in Houston, Texas, my wife told me that if I didn’t start to behave myself, she was going to jump out of the car!

Get the picture?

I am most embarrassed to say that it is not a pretty site.  I dearly love my wife, and she certainly doesn’t deserve to be around this type of irrational behavior.

Fortunately for me, many years ago I bought a Garmin Nüvi 360 GPS, and the raving beast inside me was slain.

Thank you Garmin, your GPS likely saved my marriage!

I am telling you all this because I am working on a review of the new Garmin 1390T.  Stay Tuned!
