Didn't mean to offend, but I am curious why people have a GPS running when in their home town, something I see all the time in my semi-rural area. I even recognize some of the cars and know the drivers live locally but their GPS is always on. And it's not the factory one's built into the dash, either. It's the ones suction-cupped to the windshield. What, they're afraid of getting lost driving home from Wally World? Some of the same bozos put on video in the back seat so their kids won't have to endure a 15-minute ride without a cartoon or movie.
Maybe it's because I have a good sense of direction, can read a map and can follow road signs, but I mostly only use GPS (the one in my phone) when I'm someplace I haven't been, need to get to a specific address, and don't have someone to navigate. Even then, Mapquest directions usually get me there.
In unfamiliar places GPS is very nice, especially if you're in a rental car trying to get to a meeting on time. But otherwise the value is mostly more imagined than real. IMHO.
