I was once asked by a leather clad harley type biker with the loud exhaust what my GPS was and what it was for. I had initially thought he was just ignorant...but his simple question was sort of an ephinay for me. I always knew where I was, how far I was from a place and how soon I would get there. There was no doubt. The next day I pulled it off and have not used it since while actively riding. It is fun heading in the general direction you wish to go and seeing how out of the way you go. The ride, even on familiar roads is an adventure again.
When my wife and I travel, we have a GPSMAP 60CSX and a Spot, they both live in the tank bag with the maps. If I want to know where I am and can't determine by landmarks, I'll pull out the gps. Occasionally for fun, I'll cross ref the Lat and Long.
