Is there a display somewhere in the car that will tell me what direction I'm heading (i.e., NE, SE, SW, etc.)? I can't seem to see one and I'm constantly getting lost. I knew I shoulda gotten the navigation.

No compass on non-nav cars but since you're female, you can just stop and ask for directions, right?

Enjoy your stay in Chicago. If you need restaurant recommendations, let me know. Of course, I can't tell you how to get there.

Hi Dinan. Nah, I'm with an advertising company in Wacker Drive. I just enjoy checking out restaurants and dining establishments in general, normally downtown and near north area (although I've driven to Wheeling and Highwood to check out the restaurant row).
