Oh, what? What’s that you say? Wouldn’t it be nice if Curt Schilling was available to give directions on your TomTom?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner

To bring you all up to speed, a couple weeks back I posted a riddle based on an unusual navigation situation…

How is it possible to receive the direction, “Turn around when possible. Then, turn around when possible.”

Well, a number of people suggested potential answers, and now, finally, someone has figured out this navigational oddity.

Wai Lai of Massachusetts correctly described the scenario as follows…

“You have an itinerary set up with multiple waypoints. Start at Point A. Destination is Point B. If I drive by point B it should tell me to turn around when possible. I turn around reach point B, but the next waypoint on the itinerary is to go to Point C so I need to turn around when possible to proceed to point C.”

That was the trick: Multiple destinations that both will require you to turn around when possible.

Way to go Wai! Enjoy the fame and adulation that will no doubt be coming to you any moment now.

iPhone and Riddle News

If I had a World Series ticket for every time someone asked about iPhone compatibility with TomTom devices, you’d all be coming with me.

That being the case, I have some news…

The Apple iPhone is now officially supported for use with handsfree calling on the TomTom GO 510/910 and 720.

Also, I’m still looking for an answer to last week’s riddle. Read the comments for clues. Remember, eternal fame awaits the one who can figure out this navigational conundrum and be the first to comment with the answer.

Have a great weekend!
