Have GPS Will Travel

My friend, Stan, asked me to accompany him to buy a GPS device. I laughing asked why he needed one. Is it because he can't find his way back home? He said that he has taken up a sales job and he would need to visit the offices of many clients. He is not familiar with many of the addresses and having a GPS device would make his work easier.

Stan told me that he has to use his own car, which actually belongs to his mother, but the company will reimburse him for the use of it as long as it is for work. According to Stan, the company has a Mileage reimbursement program so he isn't afraid of not getting his expenses back doing company work.

Previously, companies would buy their own cars and assign them to employees but now, I understand that they no longer do that to cut cost and would prefer employees to have their own transportation. I have seen many job listings with this requirement too. See, it doesn’t matter if one has a small or big car or even a motorbike. If one doesn’t have his own transport, he is losing out in the job market already.

Anyway, I am going to look at GPS devices with Stan since I am planning to get one too.
