My grandson is 18m and he loves putting rocks, acorns and now blueberries in his pockets.

Bug cages routinely turn in to impenetrable safes for ‘treasures’ found on walks…anything from rocks to sticks to pine cones. I made the mistake of dumping my pockets one time before leaving the park…ONE time. Now we also take empty bottles…

I just wish GPS would start standardizing when they notify you of a turn. I don't particularly care when, I'd just be happy with consistent. Some times I get a 30 mile notification, sometimes it's 10 miles or 1 mile...but what really bugs me is when I hear 'in 6 tenths of mile' or '4 tenths of mile'...get it together, just say half a mile or wait until a quarter mile. I would have imagined there's some sort of mile marker/distance trigger built into the logic of these things...unless they're self-learning and some how considering, speed, traffic and overall driving tendencies.
I'm pretty sure they do it based on an estimated time before your turn, not distance. e.g. always around 15 seconds ahead or something. It's easy for it to estimate your travel speed. So if you're going 60 mph it will be a half mile warning, and if going 30 mph its a quarter mile.
