    Maybe the GPS is voices by Bonnie Tyler.

    1983, ā€œTotal Eclipse of the Heartā€, Bonnie Tyler. Maybe sheā€™s listening to the ā€™80s station instead of her GPS.

    Must have selected the POI for a total eclipse (of the heart).

    A number of years ago a group chartered a bus to travel to an event. I sat up towards the front and was entertained by the driverā€™s gps constantly announcing ā€œrecalculatingā€. Iā€™m still amazed we got there. At one point we went through the tent camping area of a state park. Letā€™s just say the roads there are not designed for a large motor coach.

    My 80ā€™s GM models fell apart more frequently than every now and then.

    My GPS said to ā€œturn aroundā€ but then I couldnā€™t see the road at all. Everything looked familiar that I had just passed however.

    GPS wasnā€™t available to the public yet-it was military and didnā€™t start making it to aircraft navigation until the 90ā€™s.

    I think itā€™s a powder keg, itā€™s been giving off sparks.

    Does it call you Bright Eyes all the time? Maybe you should make it a Meatloaf.

    Very fuzzy scrambled data then (ā€™80s) and until 2K when peanut Jimmy and Billy cleared things up. Even now, track results on bike and hike trails are hilarious. Could be the maps. I wonder how aircraft carrier GPS landings are coming along ā€¦ GPS IFR landings in the middle of the ocean would take way more hutzpah the I have.

    I was making dinner and I had the 80s music channel cranked while I was chopping up a bunch of onions. They were playing some good stuff but then a Bonnie Tyler song came on Just then, my wife came walking into the kitchen. I suddenly realized what it looked like. She saw tears in my eyes as I was listening to ā€œTotal Eclipse of the Heartā€. She turned around, giggling, with me exclaiming in a shrill Seinfeld voice ā€œNO! IT WAS THE ONIONS! ā€¦ THE ONIIIIIONS!!ā€
