I now sit here at the Full Moon Cafe in Manteo, NC for a weekend trip after a 3 hour traffic-jammed drive in the Jetta. The Volkswagen was a treat as usual but the GPS on my Nokia E90 was even better! Having access to such a powerful app has indeed brought this device into a brand new light and I am beginning to forget the iPhone...seriously. Upon driving through a bridge on the way I activated the Maps application and watched in wonder as the earth on the screen began to turn to North America and zoom into my exact position!! My mouth dropped as the cursor slowly made it way down the highway in sync with my speeding Jetta!! This time around it didn't take nearly as long for the satellites to lock on, and I figure it's due to being outside the city and under wide-open skies. I have the coordinates for my home in Norfolk saved in the GPS app, and I can hardly wait to try out the Navigation system on the way back.
As far as the food at this cafe is concerned my Cajun Chicken Quesadilla looked more like an overgrown hot pocket that exploded all over my plate, but it was tasty nonetheless. The flies here are horrendous and one should request a swatter to accompany the silverware and complimentary water! :)
Seriously this is a pretty cozy place to get out of the sun and enjoy a good meal.
