Actually, since before we moved &#8211; we drove across the country from San Francisco to Boston, and let me tell you it paid for itself just in helping us to find food and lodging along the way.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd then it paid for itself doubly and triply as I got my bearings in the crazy streets of Somerville, Cambridge, and other Boston suburbs in which I dwell. It&#8217;s just so handy to be able to type in an address and &#8220;go there.&#8221; I love it in spite of its sometimes quirky ignorance of one-way streets, etc.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd then they tooks it from me.

I tend to tempt humanity with trust until proven foolish. I&#8217;ve also gotten a bit of false security about my neighborhood because of crazy incidents like accidentally leaving the windows down with the TomTom in plain sight, overnight, with no repercussions! Coming here from the Mission District in SF, it does feel kind of like Candyland in many regards.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBut my poor TomTom is still gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I moved to the Boston area, the TomTom Go 300 GPS has been a real lifesaver for me.
