Orchids and your GPS
Okay, so this lady drops by my greenhouse this afternoon and told me she was
from Baltimore and was driving through the DC area and while on the road she typed "orchids" into her GPS system of her car and it told her where my greenhouse was and then led her to me. She did not apparently type the name of my business into her GPS, because she did not set out to come here. Is that weird or what? Does anybody else have a GPS system in their car that will do this? Can you explain better how it works. It can't be connected to a phone book because I am not in a phone book. "Tom-tom are there any orchids nearby?" |

I wonder where the GPS would lead her if she had typed in pizza ??? Or any
other word for that matter. I have On Star in my vehicle, and it can't lead me to any orchids.

I gave a Garmin Quest, and it does have a variety of "points of interest"
built into the map software. Al's Orchid Greenhouse is there, as is Cooper Design Group, just east. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies.

My son's Magellan tells him just about everything he needs to know about an
area, including where to get a pizza! Diana "jadel" wrote in message oups.com...

Dear Al,
It was the lady's GPS picking up your ACA! Aluminium covered antennae! Cheers Wendy "al" wrote in message news:1imFh.2983$KE2.585@trnddc06...

try typing 'space alien' into your GPS. The 'space' part is important.

I wish people would find me that way. We seem to be in limbo, with the Post
Office insisting that our mailing address is West Palm Beach, while the phone company lists us in Palm Beach Gardens, and the signs on I-95 proclaim that the access road is a Jupiter exit ...

Kenni -giggle- one of my grocery stores claims to be in columbia; funny, when i drive there the sign says "welcome to jessup." maybe the produce aisle is in columbia; the rest of the store's in jessup. my barn is "in" columbia, with a laurel zip code. a local shopping mall is in either "north bethesda" (a non existent town), rockville or kensington, depending on whether you're talking to the phone company or the post office. i suspect the boundaries run right through the middle of the place. --j_a |
