Women drivers get a bad rap by macho men who accuse them of being reckless behind the wheel. On the other hand, ladies mock men, for refusing to stop and ask for directions even when hopelessly lost. Reaching the desired destination is not always easy; manufacturers of GPS devices have keyed in on both our desires and our inability to find a specific location, in an unfamiliar place, to line their pockets.
