Greatest thing about having a GPS system in your car is never having to worry about getting lost in a new place. ...
Sometimes, getting lost is the best thing that happen. Soon after moving to the middle east, I drove out into the desert and got completely
lost. I came across a camel race and a tribe of Bedouin living in tents. They invited me in, I ate with them, sitting on the floor and using hands
only. They dressed me up in bedoin clothes and sat me on camels. I took lots of photos. It was an amazing experience. I was there 2 years
and never saw another bedouin. And I never met another European who'd seen one. Now, I don't think they even exist. If I hadn't stupidly
driven off on my own, without a clue where I was going, it would never have happened.
Of course, I could also have died of thirst while lost in the desert.
