Plugging in...
Though it's almost the end of the golfing season (yes, you did read GOLF there), the Tutor was called upon to aid and abet a user with a brand name golfing GPS (global positioning system) unit that legally aids the golfer in golf shots, golf distances, golf green aerials, everything short of hitting the ball or carrying the clubs!
The unit needed to be setup via the manufacturer's website. And with all things electronic these days, the manual for using the helpful unit were, of course, not in the box, but on the website. The setup and registration were straight-forward, the use of the GPS not so much.
No electronic hand-held gizmo is intuitive to master no matter what Mr. Steve Jobs says. Ask the Tutor why so many questions about iPhones, iPads, and iPods... But not to pick on those devices. An instruction manual is key to lowering blood pressure and the urge to throw gadgets out second story windows.
Once the owner of the GPS had a basic understanding of what to do with the knobs, arrows and push buttons, the GPS looked like it would do exactly what it claimed: everything but shoot the ball and carry the clubs.
ALWAYS REMEMBER: before calling for help - is it plugged in, did you read the manual, and is it turned on?
