A growing number of cars, including those made by Mopar brands, are coming with an available Wi-Fi hotspot. For a monthly subscription, your vehicle can receive a satellite internet connection, and then an on-board wireless router lets people connect their devices to the vehicle’s Wi-Fi signal. There are several reasons why a connection like this can come in handy on the road.
A Stronger Signal
When you use your phone’s data plan to send and receive information like texts and emails, you’re relying on your provider’s network of cell towers. These towers cover a lot of the United States, but there are still dead zones where there are no nearby towers to receive your phone’s signal, especially if you head west. Vehicle Wi-Fi uses a satellite to connect you to the internet, and while the connection isn’t perfect, it does give you the same good signal just about anywhere in the United States.
Highland Park is a suburb located just outside of Chicago. It is a popular spot for location shots for movies and television shows and a favorite for director John Hughes and his famous ’80s movies. One of the reasons Highland Park is such a great spot is because it has the feel of a gated community without having the actual gates. If you want to check out some of the places you can see up on the big screen, here is a film buff’s guide to Highland Park.
“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”
“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is a fun ’80s movie starring Matthew Broderick that showcased many different areas of Chicago. One of the most memorable locations in the movie is the glass garage where his friend Cameron’s father kept his prized Ferrari.
You can catch a glimpse of the glass building at its 370 Beech St. location, and it is much more than just a garage. This glass building has a pavilion with a bedroom and a kitchen that are separate from the main house. The design of the house uses a simple, minimalist design to help emphasize its beautiful surroundings.
