It's that one reason that as we get older, it's more difficult to retrieve information, is that we have so much more information stored in our brains. I've often felt I could *hear* my fingers clicking through hundreds of files in my head, searching for the information I was looking for.<br /> Lynette Bentonhttp://stylisholewoman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917006732840712469.post-41057187079117850992013-09-05T10:02:55.704-05:002013-09-05T10:02:55.704-05:00Cheryl: It's the only app I've tried, so I...Cheryl: It's the only app I've tried, so I can't compare across the board. But being on-hand, it helped me overcome my resistance to relying on a computer to navigate me while I'm on the road. I can't always know prior what maps to research. Karen D.

I always go to Mapquest for directions before we go somewhere new because my husband always thinks he knows the way when he doesn't :-) We don't have smartphones...just basic cells...so I do rely on lists and calendars and so far they do the trick. We're retired so we're not constantly on the go...if we were a phone app would be great. Thanks for the links too, they are very good.Janenoreply@blogger.com
