I have a GPS that tells me step by step what to do.

That’s nice.

Until the battery dies.

GPS is wonderful; it’s a poor substitute for awareness.

I absolutely agree. Used a GPS for a couple of weeks last summer. Didn’t like it. I’ve always liked a map, but depend on my sense of direction more. I never get lost.

My MIL is really into her GPS. To the point of using it for every trip. One trip here, the stupid thing told her to go to the next exit away. She got lost for a bit.

I don’t know if it was worse that the GPS blew it or that she blindly followed it rather than her own knowledge of where we live, which should be well known by now.
