If you have trouble assembling or following road directions. Record them onto a cassette tape. You can listen to-rather than read-each step and replay something if it is unclear.

I think this is a great idea...sure Mapquest is a life saver but if you are out there on the road alone...this could be handy..you could record landmarks etc to help you find your way. My family uses restaurants and fast food joints when giving directions...you know, right at the KFC, or two miles past Taco bell...hope this helps someone on their next journey....Judy

Good tips thanks :)
