The GPS question

[NetApex]

Ok for those debating on if you really need one or not, very few people actually "need" one. Unless you drive truck or something then chances are high that GPS will never land on your need list. But look at it on the "would I be better off with it", or "can I afford a toy that will make life a bit more fun". Case in point. I usually turn it on when I go places and mark spots as favorites when I get there. That way I have a list of places I normally go... not needed, but kinda cool. One day my fiance (wife in 3 days!!) and I went to a friends wedding in BFE. Tossed the address in the phone, and let the GPS guide the way. Even auto rerouted when I had to leave the highway due to construction. We are going to the Smokey Mountains for our honeymoon...again, not needed, but the GPS is a huge peace of mind device. Plus it has Points-Of-Interest (POI) that will make great stopping places just to check out if we so choose. Would I pay $80 for directions to a wedding, or to be told how to get to Tennessee? Heck no, mapquest or google maps are free. But the pure fun of knowing that you cant get lost EVER... yeah $80 is very worth it. Who knows, you may even learn a few shortcuts to places you go all of the time. Also, most software comes with either traffic reports, weather reports or both.
