I guess you also don't go anywhere you've never been before, where you
might want to find a gas station, ATM, Mom's cafe (or Starbucks), or want to
answer that little kid inside you who wants to know "How long 'til we get
there?"
Maps are nice -- I use them all the time to plan trips, but when I need to
know how long before I'm going to get to a turn-off I've never used before,
and want to know whether the turn is before or after the intersection, or to
the left or to the right (as in on-ramps), I rely on my Garmin Nuvi.
Makes me feel more confident in venturing into unknown territory, too,
since I know that I can always find my way out.
Best
Gary
