So I’m not the only one who has this dream once a year even though college is a LONG time ago?
What about the part where I forget which building the class is in and the final just started and I just remembered I took this class?
And then I realize all that info is in my locker and I forgot the combination to my lock?
[and which one is my locker, now that I think about it...]

Here is a link to the original cartoon (from my favorite, http://xkcd.com)
From our 2D (or 3D) mapping, all you need to do is click “Directions: From Here” and “Directions: To Here” in the vehicle, landmark, or address “bubble” and you are given high quality directions you can email, print, or send to a phone:
Here I clicked on Brent, then on Cardinals Stadium, choosing From/To for each:
You can turn on Traffic and “Drag” the route around bad areas (red):
Then finally, if you want to see what the area looks like with a “street map” you can click on the camera icon (this image shows Cardinal’s Stadium):
Or maybe it will show a spectral wolf.
We just added this support to Firefox and Internet Explorer versions 6 & 7, please try it out.
Thanks,
Rob.

This is a little off the GPS topic, but this is a hilarious site, and it’s an honor that they chose my name for this particular strip.
Nothing like obscure SQL humor. Only “select 8 from users” could possibly be more funny.

Don’t buy this type of GPS Navigation device!:
Here at GPS Insight, we love TomTom navigation devices, and allow our customers to do the following with them:
This allows you to use the TomTom to guide you to any of your customers or along your pre-determined route (optimized courtesy of GPS Insight). They’re great devices, & I would personally be lost every time I travel without my TomTom One XL ($249.95). If you’re one of our customers, please call and we’re happy to sell them to you to add to your GPS Insight solution. If you’re not a customer, just pick one up at Best Buy and you will be happy you did (we only sell them to customers so they work with GPS Insight, unless you have 50 or more you want to purchase).
If you don’t buy a TomTom through GPS Insight, you can’t use your PND (Personal Navigation Device) with the GPS Insight solution. There are good alternatives, just avoid the ones that look like the one at the top.
That joke is courtesy of the funny (but geeky) people at xkcd.com.
If you’re into Unix or really geeky humor (or as the people at TomTom would spell it humour — they’re European), that site will get you both laughing and scratching your head in alternating cartoons.
