One big benefit of being proficient in working without the computer, is being able to say “Hey, wait a minute” when the computer starts giving you bad answers.
I have GPS in my car. I also have paper maps. Before traveling to a place I am not familiar with, I will check the paper map first and get an idea of the best route.
GPS are useful but I will not risk my life on them.

I've tested my GPS in places that I know the best route, and some times the GPS, while it will get you to your destination, will go round about, and many times only that it can get you to a toll road.
I semi-trust my GPS, but if you have it set to use toll roads, it can really take you out of the best route.
