The streets of New Orleans are anything but easy to navigate. Even though I was born and raised here, the city streets always leave me lost. Another fact of life here is evacuations. At least once every few years, we find ourselves driving out of harms way to an unfamiliar city. We have affectionately called these little trips, “Hurrications” which in 2005 lasted about 6 months for my family.
In times like this, when tensions and anxiety are at an all time high, a GPS navigation system, such as the MOTONAV TN20, would help to ease my mind. From the website:
“MOTONAV TN20 is a reliable, easy-to-use portable GPS navigation system that relieves the stress of driving in unfamiliar places with spoken street names and turn by turn directions.”
What a great Mother’s Day gift (hint hint)! Driving in ANY city would be so much easier with this unit. The MOTONAV TN20 has over 1 million pre-loaded points of interest and can help you find just about any restaurant, hotel, business or gas station on your trip!
This model has a 3.5″ touch screen which will adjust in brightness for day or night driving. The touch screen allows the driver to use their finger to zoom and easily move around the map in the direction they wish to go. It can also be mounted on your windshield with a suction cup adapter and directions can be viewed in either 2D or 3D images.
Need more features? Check out the big brother, the MOTONAV TN30! The biggest difference between the two units is that the TN30 is Bluetooth enabled and has Caller ID capabilities. It is also a bit bigger with a 4.3″ touch screen and 4 million preloaded destinations.
Motorola has generously donated one MOTONAV TN20 to a lucky Not-So-Blog reader! This is a great prize with an ARV of $179.99!

I so need this, I am always getting lost!
I am going to be driving VERY soon and am not the best with directions. Having a GPS would hopefully cut down on the stress of being a first time driver.

Man invented the automobile as a means of getting one or more people from point A to point B in a shorter and more convenient manner… except for my husband! This is where the MOTONAV TN20 comes in – less driving for him, less stress for me.

I absolutely need this because I get lost on a postage stamp! I have no sense of direction and I live in Phoenix, one of the most obscurely designed cities in the world, and if I don’t have GPS soon you will be hearing a news story about a woman lost for days screaming at her car.
I travel all over North Georgia on my job. I get new clients all the time. I am always needing directions.
I travel all over town for work and it would make my life so much easier to have something to show my way.
I just left Iraq and I’m moving to settle in a new city. It would be really helpful for me to have a GPS to help me find a job and my way around my new city.
I need this to help curtail my road rage. I get frustrated enough with bad drivers but when I get lost it gets seriously bad. Knowing where I’m going would be half the battle!
I’m a blonde. Need I say more?
So I wouldnt get Lost ever again and not get upset about it. skyxsky27(at)gmail.com

I need to win b/c my husband never asks for directions. He will just drive around (forever it seems) b/c he doesn’t want to hurt is ego by asking for directions. He usually finds the place we are looking for but it would be nice to what streets to turn on and where to go. Winning this would help eliminate arguments in our car. Thanks!
I have no sense of direction and very little memory of how to get places so this would be wonderful.
I NEED this as a present to give to my mom! She is a doula and midwife-in-training and is running all over town at all hours of the day and night. I worry about her getting lost all the time!
I am directionally challenged.
so I don’t get lost anymore, thanks!
So I won’t get lost. Duh!
I love the features of this and it’s something I desperately need!
I have wanted to have one of these for when I travel. Please enter me.
OMG I’d love this! I am so bad with directions! My husband has one in his truck and I’m so jealous! Please pick me!!!

I’m just directionally challenged. Still trying to figure out why, when I drive to my daughter’s school, I take the West exit, but I also have to take the West exit to get home. How can that be? In my mind, I should take East going home and would have (ok I did once)if I wasn’t told otherwise, but that took me further West….sigh…I need help.
I actually would give this to my DH for father’s day because after living in the same place for over 7 years you would think you know where he’s going. Every time we head out on the road he has to ask ok now where do I go? This is why I usually like to drive.

I need this so that I can take my girls somewhere other than right around the house. We stay close to home because of our fear of getting lost. I actually got lost about 5 miles from our house. Can you believe that? lol I’m sure my girls would love to go to some new places and this would make it possible. Thank you!

I’m an airhead. I need this so I can go places without my husband and without getting lost :/

I would love one of these so I don’t have to look so silly when I ask for directions.
I need this! I get lost too easily! A month ago, I was driving to my aunts house but took the wrong exit(thanks to confusing exit signs and bad yahoo directions) and ended up going in the wrong direction for like 20 minutes……almost left Minnesota too!
I follow you and tweeted!

I need this because my sense of direction is really bad.
So I don’t need to ask for directions or call someone to ask (since you can’t use a phone while driving in CA anymore)!
We’ve recently moved into a big city and this would be better than trying to drive and read a map at the same time. Thanks!
I would love to win this. I can get lost faster than you can believe. It would be so nice to be able to actually get someplace that I am going without having someone come to direct me.
