We call her Nora.
But her voice is not nearly as soothing as her name-sake. Nora Jones, with her amazing jazzy, silky, sexy, crooning, inspired Amy with her "Come Away with Me," and our own "Nora" was born.
She sits on a little cradle, suction-cup-mounted to the front windshield, and she anticipates every turn for you (in a very un-Nora (Jones) monotone): I N 1 point 7 M I L E S P R E P A R E T O T U R N R I G H T... She's annoying But incredibly accurate. And what a memory! The girl has every street in the US, and most of the ones in Europe memorized. Seriously. She comes in a little packet the size of a wallet, and is an amazing traveler on the journey.
I don't know that she'll be much help with finding God, but she's doing one whale of a job helping us find the shortest route to Plymouth, MA... and the nearest Cracker Barrell.. and a much needed CVS Pharmacy... and (OK, she got a little "scenic" on this one) the Quality Inn in Front Royal, VA...
We're here for the night. 5 hours north. 8+ to go. We're still looking for God.
And if Nora will keep us on the "straight and narrow," I hope we'll have a sighting to report. Soon.

here's a tip...change your language setting to british english. she has a much more polite tone when she says "recalculating" when you screw up. The American english version seems highly annoyed and is very condescending!
