And then this dude doesn't apologize for being a complete retard and causing a lot of people extra work.

If they can be screwed up by GPS I think they would be fucked with paper. You can screw up with both if you don't know what you are doing. One thing that works really well riding/driving is to look out the window. If there isn't a road where the gps is telling you to go then it might be wrong. If you don't have a road where a map is telling you that there is one, then maybe you have the map upside down or your looking at the wrong spot on the map.

Some people are just stupid. I have done fine without GPS and without maps at times but I would like to have a GPS to help out every now and then.

My blackberry has google maps and a gps. I ask for directions and it draws em out on the map.

It's a great feature that I use quite often.

On my way to work everyday I see some fucker who has his GPS on everyday.

I suck at many things in life. One thing I do not suck at is directions because I have an insane sense of direction. Because of that, even with GPS I still get friends calling me trying to find something since their GPS will fail them. Too many "Peach" streets in Atlanta
