Money Magazine has just released its list of “Best Places to Live 2009.” Is your town on the list? If not, you may be tempted to pack your bags and move to one of these easygoing hot spots. What towns are on the list? Check out the choice top ten town pickings below.

1. Louisville, CO
2. Chanhassen, MN
3. Papillon, NE
4. Middleton, WI
5. Milton, MA
6. Warren, NJ
7. Keller, TX
8. Peachtree City, GA
9. Lake St. Louis, MO
10. Mukilteo, WA

Most of these towns have a very low unemployment rate, and all of them are centered on outdoor activities. If you love to golf, swim, ski, or simply enjoy the great outdoors, you’ll love setting up shop in any one of these towns.

Of course, that would mean leaving your beloved home in search of greener grass (and who’s to say that your town won’t make the list next year?), but should you decide to hop a train to Warren, New Jersey, or Keller, Texas, make sure to take a handy GPS tracker with you.

Why? Folks that live in these top towns are certainly friendly, but they won’t be much help when you first arrive. Exploring a new town takes a lot of patience, a lot of curiosity, and a bit of sound knowledge. In short, having a GPS tracker on your side will ensure that you never get lost…and just in case you do, you can easily be found.

Take your GPS tracker with you as you explore dirt roads meant for mountain bikes, or as you jog your way along a pristine lake. The best way to get to know a new town is on foot, but it helps to also know that you can never really get lost if you can always be found via GPS.

What makes all the towns listed above better than any other U.S. spot? Well, it’s mostly a matter of living. These towns have managed to master the art of relaxation, and that’s something that appeals to almost everyone. Whether or not you decide to move to one of the towns listed above is up to you, but wouldn’t it be nice to take the time to explore one of those towns anyway? Just remember to bring along your trusted sidekick: the GPS tracker.
