Made a box today for my GPS

I needed something to hold my GPS while driving so I could see it. I did not want to modify the car, so I built a box. It hold a battery and a charger inside, and the GPS sits on top. I painted the entire box black, so the GPS will show clearly. I am not a carpenter, but I want to see how well this works. I should get a cord for my phone, too.

I also spent part of the day regripping my golf clubs, and setting up a table of supplies to build a rear axle.

I have a Garmin similar to that one a Nuvi 2555 with lifetime maps and am very happy with it.

It is an old Garmin. She even gets lost sometimes or tells me to turn right and there is only a road to the left. I usually use my phone when the Garmin seems to be wrong, or I google map it before I leave for my trip.
