On-Star: Knows where you've been.

[MouseWife]

Oh, I love OnStar!! {and with a name like MouseWife, ya know I got nothin' to hide!}

I don't have it on my car, but, my husband has it on his. Wow, what a comfort it has been when we've needed it. In the mountains, we came upon an accident, no cell phone coverage. On Star is satellite and so we got through and reported it. We didn't have a clue where we were but they zeroed in on our location.

We've reported accidents, backwards freeway drivers, asked for directions, had our vehicle checked, found locations of the local dealer {great for when out of town and aren't familiar}.

I wish that my Escape had what my husbands' Ion has. It is the only thing we are missing when on road trips. That and his radio, not Sirius but...

Anywho, yes, I am amazed at the information they can get and how they can find things out. The missing persons cases solved, the murders solved, what about the people lost on Mt. Hood? What we need are batteries that don't die so quickly {or people to remember to charge them...or carry a spare on such trips?}

I do understand not wanting the government to know our info. But, like was said, you take the good and you take the bad.

And, we've never received any spam in the two years we've had it.
