Vector Portable GPS here in the Philippines

I remember the time when I came to the States I can’t go anywhere I wanted to go. Why? I don’t have a valid driver’s license to be able to drive. So one way is to I done is to apply a driver’s license at the DMV to be able to drive legally. The exam and the practical exam what a easy breezy to me. I been driving since 19xx and the skill that a filipino driver cannot be compared with any driver from the States. Got my driver’s license by mail now my problem is I don’t know my way to point A to point B. My sister was forced to buy a GPS for me to use and so that I can driver her son to his karate classes. Driving a stickshift Ford F150 and getting lost is not my option. Highway in the States is between 50-60 mph to my approx. is between 100-140 km here in the Philippines. Once your in the Interstate you don’t want to get lost on you way and you don’t have anyone to ask for directions. Having a GPS is a good thing that a driver should have.
