What technological "toys" do you carry around with you in your car?

I have both of my cameras, my MP3 player and an FM transmitter, that I can use to listen to my MP3 player via my stereo system.


Be well,

Ah! I forgot to mention my cell phone (which I don't have a hands-free device for). :colorful: :-D

Just my cell phone.  But, it is a Trep 700p which has a built in camera, can browse the 'net, and play any Palm OS software including games.

Same thing with mightyace. Just my cell phone. And it's not even a fancy one like his.

Occasionally I take pictures, so obviously then I bring my camera. But that is rare these days.

You should know European, and especially Dutch roads are lined with speed cameras, and many people slow down to 75 km/h on their speedometer when the speed limit is 80 km/h. But 75 km/h on your speedometer are only like 68 real kms, and you'll get ticketed above 83 km/h, and I don't want to drive 15 km/h too slow. GPS gives your real speed (when driving at a constant pace).

You should also know my job requires me to get to many places I haven't visted before. Since most towns and cities have a far from logical street pattern over here, a GPS becomes convenient. Ofcourse I know all of the major roads, and I don't use it then.

iPod (which has direct integration with the car stereo :colorful: :spin:), cell phone and camera (the last particularly when true roadgeeking occurs)

I often have playlists that are up to 5-6 hours long so I can have a bit of a soundtrack for my drives

My newest gadget, just bought this afternoon: A notebook! Prepare for way more road movies! (I was limited to SD cards before on multiple-day trips).

Just bought two new devices today: a Smart AC Inverter (150w) that I can use to plug my camera into; and a two outlet power strip. This helps me a lot, as I don't have to worry about the battery life on my camera and I can have my camera and MP3's FM transmitter plugged up at the same time. :cool:
