Any Car Rental contacts?

Postby **Pastor Gary** » June 5th, 2008, 12:22 am

I am searching the car rental sites for discounts, deals... whatever.

I will need a full-size car or larger for 24 DAYS! Yikes! (One of those GPS Navigation devices would be way cool to have, too... but it might not be affordable.)

Well... (ahem)... my BB doesn't have the kind of GPS that you can program a destination and get vocal turn-by-turn directions, which I may need if we do a lot of driving in unfamiliar places. I am holding my breath for Monday to see if there's a new iPhone announced, and then to see if my kids pop for a great Father's Day Gift! :shock:

Not exactly; We fly into N'ville and 24 days later fly OUT of N'ville. In between we will be in Huntsville to see Amy's dad and my sister, in Birmingham to visit our son and daughter-in-law, and maybe slip in a day or two of something "vacationy" if it works out. I have to be in Nashville from the 8th to the 18th though.

My BB 8800 has the TelNav client on it that does just that. Between the GPS and google maps, I pretty much know where I am.... even when I get "turned around".

PG- the Google Maps application does turn-by-turn directions. Do they have it for Blackberry?

Gary, Dr. Ron is on a cruise this week but when he returns you might speak to him about this. He has plenty of contacts and may know of something. Good luck; wish I had an extra vehicle to lend ya cause I would.

Remember that Google maps have street views here in Nashville.

People - People - People!
All this talk about GPS and Garmins, and Google Maps is not helping Gary find a car. That should be priority #1.

I just found out tonight that one of my members has a Garmin 200 Nuvi GPS she is willing to let me borrow me for the trip! Awesome. Still looking for the car deal, but have a few leads.

If you will call Terry Lowery, pastor of Old Hickory church, he will likely loan you his church van. It is very nice ........and you can advertise the church as you travel....wow./

As for gps........sissy! I just went on a trip to Tampa and back, went straight to my hotel and the boat, used an old method.....ROAD MAP. Those things are amazing....and it lets people know you can navigate .....then there is always a lensactic compass......

GPS...bahhh humbug! Give me my Atlas......or read road signs... wow!!!!
