I think some confuse SatNav with GPS. SatNav being the dumbed down way to get from A to B using guiding commands.
GPS is more the aviation and marine model.
The point you wish to get to is only designated by a waypoint on your basemap, none routable map or map with guidance turned off.
I used a combination of GPS with the Smelly Biker worldmap, paper maps, for the big picture and local knowledge to confirm the former methods.
I think they are a great tool and its good to overlay your track (breadcrumb trail), over a map after the trip.
