Since we were not in a hurry, it was a great benefit!


Bonus points if you can identify where I took this photo image
The Abbey of Sénanque?

We have a winner! We discovered all sorts of places in Provence using the "shortest route" setting on M-B GPS. While the Abbey was on our list, getting there was half the fun!

Scratching my head as to why this thread is still a thing... Started almost 2 years ago by a guy who hasn't posted since December last year... Bumped by a new member who has devoted all two of his posts to date in this thread...

Hopefully you guys can move along to a Lexus, and you can post nasty threads about it's lousy GPS on a Lexus forum instead.
