That would be a cell phone. . .

for an example. . .

Before I bought my current one I had a Garmin E-Map runs on AA batteries, no color screen, no frills but will get you from Point A to Point B without any problem. I used it several times by putting in waypoints and following the turn commands. I need to buy another one because the one now (Garmin StreetPilot 2610) isn't portable unless I carry a 12 volt battery with me.

They don't make the E-Map anymore, but you can find nice/new ones on E-Bay all the time for cheap.

I have a Garmin IQ3600. I've had it probably 2 years or longer, and really like it. Don't know if that model is still available. It has several other functions (date book, etc.) and I use it more than I thought I would.

That model is still available on eBay. According to Garmin it is discontinued. I don't know if that means anything. Do you have to have the auto navigation option for it to give a turn-by-turn voice report? I think you have to have a subscription to a service?

"One after another they volunteered how in their families and in their communities they were expected to be responsible for their behavior, how honesty was assumed to be the rule, not the exception. They also talked matter-of-factly about the sense of duty to their country, a sentiment not much in fashion anymore."

If you have a multi functional cell phone, there is a company called DeLorme

No subcription service, it just works. Don't know about the "auto navigation option," it worked out of the box.
