One in a car or truck? I don't get it...

If I'm going to a new place, maps work fine.

I rode with someone once who had one that talked, i.e., "turn left, turn right, etc." it was annoying as heck.

If I couldn't find my way without one I'd find an alternative...

Now, get off my lawn!

With my job, I travel all over the U.S. When I'm in a city I don't know, my GPS is worth its weight in gold.

All a GPS has to do once in its long life is to find your hotel for you late at night. It does that once and its paid for itself

Yeah, but the thief can get directions with the GPS? I keep my insurance in the Glove box, locked, Its still pretty much at hand.

I wonder why they moved the town so far away.

I have a GPS and find it great to find alternate ways around traffic jams, and giving me an ETA when someone wants to know how rar away am I. Its really nice when you fly into someplace and rent a car. Reduces the confusion of leaving and comming back to the rental car place. Also pretty hasny to have for reporting an accident, while in a strange land. Biggest complaint though is I don't know why you have to pay extra to use it in Mexico.
