Not wanting to rain on anyone's parade, but what about being able to read a map?
What will happen if the battery gives out while you're driving somewhere? Do you stop and call for help, or do you pull out your trusty road map and figure it out for yourself?
My general approach to these devices is that if you need this much help to "navigate" maybe you shouldn't be driving.
This is based of the fact that the "best" models give you vocal "turn by turn" directions.
I'm sorry, but if you're that lazy that you need that much help driving, you'd be better off staying at home.
Sorry for the rant, but it seems we're just getting too lazy for our own good.
For the record, I've used map books to find many , if not all, of my freshwater fishing spots. (Some are guarded secrets)
