What about those morons who drive down the road with the map spread out
across the steering wheel?  Maps don't crash, idiots looking at maps
crash...

As for gizmos...  I usually use the FedEx gizmo.  The UPS gizmo sucks at
paying off insurance claims.

Government conspiracy eh?  Now... where did I put my tin foil hat?

Feels a lot like Friday...

Cheers,

Jeff

And maps can't crash or get you pushing and fiddling with little buttons and
dealing with memory and all that.
GPS is a long range government conspiracy to make the citizenry dumber and
dependant on gizmo's like UPS to know where they are.
Then when they're  ready ..........and everyone is thoroughly addicted and
trained to use GPS constantly, they'll shut it off, or introduce incorrect
information..........all about controlling the dumb masses.

For use on a trackless open space like the ocean ..........makes great sense
there.
but for land, where ..........at least I know where I am all the time, and I
can find anything on a map, and online there are maps of just everywhere, in
detail - it's a conspiracy I say- GPS.
