GPS Navigation any good?

Spoken like someone who's never used a good GPS.

I can read maps. In fact, I'm REALLY good with a map. Road, topo, aviation chart, whatever...

GPS, and the ability to operate it properly, freakin' rules!

Amen!!!!

I notice my GPS system has voice recognition (DeLorme Street Atlas on a laptop).

I can ask it where I am and it will tell me.

Ever ask you wife?

ROFL

Based on the absolute truth about 95% of the drivers on the road, I don't like the idea of any more distractions being introduced. For some people, that equates to "more toys".

Maybe so but ive seen more people reading maps for 30 seconds at a time while driving at 60 than ive seen pressing the odd button on a GPS for a fraction of a second. Its seems the stupid are still going to pick up a map even though its not a bright idea, so id rather they prodded at a screen a few times than block their view with paper.
