GPS, good or bad

I tend to like electronic devices of all stripes. Heck, if I owned an 8-track player I'd find a way to add the tapes to itunes if I was actually old enough to own any 8-tracks. I don't have a GPS, but know intimately how they work having worked for 5 years at a company that makes the database that goes in several of the popular models. This is by far the funniest, and probably the most accurate of reasons why I don't own one. (Although every time I go to Boston I think about buying one.)
