I [Heart] Hertz Neverlost
I suppose I should start this post by mentioning how much I love my wife. This weekend we celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary (thank you, and yes we are actually that old).
But, were I not so happily married, I’d definitely propose marraige to the lovely woman’s voice on Hertz Neverlost GPS navigation system. It’s not that the voice is at all sexy. It’s not really. But it’s not robotish either, just officious. But God, I love her!
Simply put, Herzt Neverlost is one of the great products of the modern age. For an extra $9/day, you can drive around any city in America and feel like it was your hometown since grade school.
I spent all of last week in L.A., a city I’ve visited only three times before, if memory serves. But I didn’t take more than two wrong turns the entire week, thanks to Neverlost. It takes a bit of getting used to — the first couple of times you use it, you’re liable to get frustrated with a few wrong turns; highway driving can be particularly disorrienting until you understand it’s logic — but after you get the hang of paying attention to both its mapping and its voice commands, it truly lives up to its name.
