My friend Eric (a REALTOR®)  is directionally challenged. I have had clients make fun of me for  going in circles..and I ususally have a pretty good sense of direction (I don't know right from left... which can cause problems... but during the day with the  sun shining I amaze myself.. and some clients....) I wonder what Eric's client's think when he is going in circles and calling me for directions.  When I see his cell number come up on my desk phone I want to answer it  "Eric's GPS."   At a Tech Users Forum presentation for the new Verizon phones with GPS, I thought of Eric immediately.  Every time I see the Verizon commercial of the man looking for a phone with that feature  and the lady says something like "Sir this is a hardware store!"  I think of Eric.

Even if I am relatively good with directions I want GPS. Doesn't everyone?   I want a Smart Phone too... my cell is a couple of years old...
