I have to agree with Ben, I use my GPS toy every time I go out. It tells me my speed & when I'm going to arrive at my destination so I know how much time I have to goof off on the way. It is invaluable for directions to a new address and it is a machine. I will scroll thru the directions and see what it wants me to do if I'm going somewhere new, I have maps so I can look. The maps never run out of batteries or lock up. Navigation has come a long way but the brain is still involved.
