Didn't take it as such. I have a GPS, tablet smartphone etc... Even my bike has a NAV button (which I should probably learn how to use!). Part of my issue with my GPS is that i can't see enough of the map to get perspective or see which lines are squigglier (i gravitate toward squiggly lines on a map). I just don't see myself mounting a GPS on the handlebars.

Just last week I found a lady's change purse laying on the ground in front of the gas pumps in Oxford, Nc. It had all the usuals: license. credit, debit, insurance etc but no phone numbers. She lives in Virgilina. Va ( about 25 miles north,) and I'm guessing 10 miles from my house.
Beautiful day on my way home from work so I decide that I'm going home "the long way..."

Road trips I'll still use the good old Rand Mcnally , only reason I bought a smart phone was the job and finding addresses in cities around here . Everyone I know who has a GPS has named it " Lying Bitch " .
Points to you brother

I like both GPS and maps. When riding to unfamiliar places, I like to carry a route map in one of those flat magnetic tank bags. Also, use a Garmin 660 hard wired into my RG. I still manage to get lost sometimes, but makes it easy to get found.

When on a long trip, I plan with mapquest and them I use a marker like you use on a white board and write simple directions on the windshield. About the only time I use a windshield is on a long trip so it serves 2 purposes. Just about any bug remover will take the marker off the shield. Hey, works for me.

Same here just don't use the compass. When it's really cloudy, my internal compass will fail. But some of most interesting places/roads were found.
