"Okay so I'm hungry now so I'm going to show you how to use this. We're going to go in here, I'm going to find some food, just something quick. Doesn't really matter. Hit all categories. Okay there's an Arby's right down the road and that's going to suit me pretty well today. So I'm going to go ahead and hit that and we'll show you the GPS working here just as soon as traffic clears and lets us out and it looks like we're going to get a chance right now. So here we roll. Okay, so already we know drive .7 miles and it shows me, this is just a real short journey, I'm going to be there in 1 minutes actually, 11:50 it's currently it's 11:49 so it's just down the road for demonstration purposes but you can see the arrows indicating we're going to turn left in 5/10 of a mile, 1/2 of a mile 4/10 it's got a flag out for our arrival. It's got our speed and everything there. So it lets you know what's going on. And it will tell me where to turn and what to do here shortly. Okay so we have to turn left here and then we'll just come on up we'll get the checkered flag, again, that will tell us when we're arriving. Okay, waiting on traffic here. Okay and here we go. So it will tell us what it wants us to do next as we're traveling here to take care of this powerful hunger I've got going. And sure enough 400 feet if you look up there is an Arby's sign. Just pull right in here. And there is a checkered flag at the top of the screen. And just like that. And it doesn't matter if it's around the corner or if it's 50 miles, 1000 miles away, whatever we do, it would be just the same."
