It seems to me that almost nobody uses "just" a gps.  All of the new gizmos
are combination of gps for 'position' and an electronic map.  A gps receiver
can be used to record the position of an object, a route, etc.  Without the
'map' component of these combo units, the point or route is useless to most
people.

Beyond this realization, the question becomes 'do you like physical maps or
electronic maps.'  You can use a gps unit and a paper map and pinpoint your
location easily, been doing it for years.  You can have a gizmo do it
automatically, been doing that too.

I like looking out the window.

 RE: Maps vs. GPS
Following this thread over the last couple of days reminds me of an old
political joke.  A candidate, when asked where he stood on a certain issue,
responded "Well, some of my friends are for it, some of my friends are
against it.  And I always support my friends."...
