(NECN: Scot Yount) - Computers in our cars are nothing new, but what you can do with them now continues to amaze.
Vacations are coming up and even with soaring gas prices, Americans will be taking to the roads, taking the best route and finding the cheapest gas. However, it has never been easier.
GPS systems have never been more affordable, or more laden with features, from less than $200 all the way up to nearly $1,000. They will all get you there, but some can do amazing things, like answer you.
You can say "nearest coffee" and it will give you all the coffee places around. And, with a new service by MSN Direct, you get to go on Safari to find the cheapest fuel.

New software is making it easier to find your way across the country.
