Analog GPS
Maybe there is something wrong with me. I have shared this with a few people and none of them find it amusing. However, I do.
Searching for a good, reliable GPS setup for my motorcycle, I looked at several varieties of handheld digital GPS devices. At some point in my search, I stumbled upon this very nice looking analog GPS device from Aerostitch. The copy reads:
“Take your batteries and slavish dependence on other high-tech flummery and heave it overboard. With this device, you can pinpoint your location anywhere on earth and not be reliant on dodgy bits of information being projected through the ether by divers black arts. Precision constructed of brass and the finest optics available and featuring premium isinglass sun filters, it is compact and rugged enough for the adventurous motor-cyclist. Mounts for 7/8″ and 1″ bars are included, as is a fitted, velvet lined rosewood storage case. Not included are required declination charts (call for details) or the extremely accurate watch you are going to need to use this thing. Meets R.N. standard 3329-5 of 1787. Price: $3,117.00″
