Looks neat, doesn't it? And it is!
It's a GPS receiver.
No, not a navigation system, as it doesn't contain any maps. It will take you to any spot you enter the coordinates for. And you can get those from Googlemaps, or even from an ordinary paper map, if you have a ruler and a calculator.
It's just like the good old GPS12 that guided us through Africa seven years ago, only ...
    - it's smaller
    - it's lighter
    - it uses two AAA batteries instead of four AA's
    - it works for up to 12 hours on a set
    - it has a better antenna to receive the satellite signals with
    - it has a faster processor
    - it can store more waypoints and tracks
    - it's mine mine MINE !!!

Isn't it totally neat? I'm going to find a way to attach it to my motorbike. It's waterproof, too.

I guess being so excited about a gift like this, and choosing it in the first place, makes me a bit of a geek.
And you know what?
I don't give a shit!
