Hertz Just Made Being Lost Very Hard

The advancement of technology has made life a lot easier for us. For example, back in the good old days, one can easily get lost. But today, it is getting harder and harder to do that.

Just look at what Hertz has come up with. According to The Auto Channel, the company is offering the Online Trip Planning service in their Hertz NeverLost navigation system.

Here's how it works: first, plan your trip online. For that you would have to go here and plan your trip. Then, save it in a personal USB storage device. Then, just load it up in your NeverLost navigation system and you are bound to never get lost. What's so cool about this is that no matter what you drive, whether it be a luxury car with a Acura EGR valve or just an ordinary car, you van have this navigational system as long as you can afford it anyway.

Here are other features of the new service offered by Hertz:

• Yellow Pages - Finds businesses near destinations. For example, travelers can find restaurants near their next destination.
• Corridor Search - Finds establishments between destinations, such as finding a gas station on the way back to the airport
• Trip Optimization - Changes the order of stops for efficient route planning
• Address/Intersection - Allows easy entry of addresses or intersection information
• Favorites - Downloads the most up-to-date information on favorite points of interest, such as museums, sporting events, shopping malls, meetings and conventions
• City Guides - Provides city guides for top markets that highlight the most noteworthy tourist attractions

So if you are one of those people who travel to different places, I think this navigation system is a good investment.
