First comes the bad news: Mr. Gee developed a slight case of static, shorted out his circuit board and refused to light his screen or find the satellites. Of course I realized something was wrong.... not talking or lighting up are both sure signs of big trouble.
So.... I was on my way to GPS Urgent Care as quickly as I could get him there. I paced back and forth out in the Customer Service Waiting Room while he was in the examining room with Doctor Sparks. They were gone a long time. Finally, out comes the doctor carrying Mr. Gee in his hand... and my Mr. Gee was
looking wonderful!And now the good news: Mr. Gee looked as good as new... because... that's what he was... The quick fix is called a warranty... He WAS BRAND NEW!
You see, there's not much that any doctor can do once the circuit board shorts out.
And guess what. This new "little guy" looks just like my first "little guy", so I think I'll call him Mr. Gee too!
But as cute as he is, he's gonna be a lot of work. New maps to download, addresses and customized routes to re-enter.... what a job!
Still I'm very glad to have my wonderful navigator back at home, in top-notch shape. If anyone ever develops a cure for the "digital hic-up", it will be good news for a lot of folks who are struggling to keep up with the age of technology!
Now I'll see ya later... it's time to go polish Mr. Gee.

thank goodness for the warranty,
hope this new little trooper can carry on longer.
They will also replace it for "non-technical" issues; i.e., a chocolate covered cherry melting on it . . . of course, I have no direct knowleddge of that . . .
