Boat, and handheld (in the woods). I'm handy with maps, so I don't care if I have it in a car or not.
I'm pretty good with maps too. Land Navigations was a strong point and I taught a lot of soldiers the finer points of it. Let me tell you one thing though, if we would have had GPSs in the 60s, 70s and early 80s, do you think we would have been carrying around and folding out all those maps when ever we wanted to an orientation.
Nope, not a chance
I use mine mostly while hiking. It's better than bread crumbs.
My GPS is in my phone. I love it so much better than when I only had GPS in my laptop back in the 20th century. It was soooo unwieldy.
Wouldn't leave home without mine!
Handy for finding addresses then driving right too the spot. Handy for dropping "bread crumbs" so you can find your truck when hunting or hiking; the geocaching sport is a lot of fun using GPSr; just the handiest thing I have found since the compass was invented. IMHO.
Get lost on Guam a lot, do ya?
:-)
Neither. I get calls all the time from people trying to find the Faire because their GPS doesn't work well unless you know EXACTLY what it wants to hear (ah, computers.) This is particularly troublesome on rural routes.
Oh, and they all run you through a private, closed road to find my house in West Virginia. If you use GPS, you cannot get there either.
Give me a good map any day.
Well, my street is not on any conventional map, Google Maps shows the street before any houses were built. Microsoft (Live Maps) shows all of the houses but still does not give the street name. So, when I start calculating a trip via GPS routing I have to start the calculation about a mile away from here.
People talk about how fast technology is progressing, but you sure wouldn't know it where I live.
