The most common vision problem of people as they age (assuming they didn't require vision correction all their lives) is that the stiffening of the lens makes it progressively more difficult to focus on things close to the eye... so you can see what's past the hood of the car just fine, but the small text on a nav system 2 feet away is hard to read.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DKB_SATX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2008 1:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CES 2008: Cobra Nav One 5000 keeps Baby Boomers on track, ticket free]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</guid><description><![CDATA[There is a big difference between needing bifocals and being  visually impaired.<br><br>Also the screen on this thing looks like the rug that you play with cars on.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[skunkteeth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2008 4:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CES 2008: Cobra Nav One 5000 keeps Baby Boomers on track, ticket free]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Brent & Ivan<br><br>Nice comments. Too bad you don't have a clue.<br><br>Many of us boomers (and as in my case pre-boomers), are not "old" or "visually-impaired", and we are making great use of our GPSes as we travel the country in our retro-cars. I am 65, retired, wear bifocals, and drive a 400HP race-prepped 86 Mustang GT convertible which I race and use to travel briskly all through the US and Canada.  <br>Maybe if you were to get some glasses to clear up your perception problems you could see many of us flying past you.<br> <br>Oh...and good luck with your retirement plans. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2008 2:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CES 2008: Cobra Nav One 5000 keeps Baby Boomers on track, ticket free]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</guid><description><![CDATA[Living in North Dakota, there isn't any old people flying past anyone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brent]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2008 3:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CES 2008: Cobra Nav One 5000 keeps Baby Boomers on track, ticket free]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</guid><description><![CDATA["Thanks to World War II vets returning in huge numbers way back in the 50s"<br><br>(sic)<br><br>WWII ended in 1945.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2008 4:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CES 2008: Cobra Nav One 5000 keeps Baby Boomers on track, ticket free]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/06/ces-2008-cobra-nav-one-5000-keeps-baby-boomers-on-track-ticket/</guid><description><![CDATA[I call bogus on the brands being displayed in the screenshot.
