They just came out with chargers that plug our new school hippy space age gps having phones right into our cars!!
Sadly, the majority of people get lost with or without something telling them where to go.
I'm fine without it if I'm any place that I've looked at on a map or driven to before. You get your main roads/interstates and have a good sense of direction and your golden, or at least can get back to where you started. It's way more convenient and fun though looking at where you are from an aerial view and exploring new places without having to ever pull out a map, make any sort of plans, worry about roads being blocked, having to come back the same way, etc.. Ironically, I use my gps to "get lost" but I was doing the same without it.

+1 to google maps! If you've never been somewhere, you would need a map or directions.... Why wouldn't you use both via your phone, that with a $15 car charger doesn't need a charge while your driving, because low and behold it's charging!
Oh and dont forget being somewhere your not familiar with, say on vacation, and deciding you want Thai for dinner, click click on the phone and boom you've got nav getting you to the nearest thai place. Read the reviews for it while your at it. A good sense of direction doesn't generally find you what you need. You dont have to be young to make use of technology, I'd call that resourceful.

You remind me of my FIL. We decided to take a journey to Five Guys Burgers and Fries (Harold and Kumar style) and when I told him I don't know how to get there he almost had an anxiety attack. I told him to settle down, pulled out my EVO 3D and we got there like a boss.

In a traffic jam? Pull up google maps, follow the red traffic to the accident or construction icon slowing you up. Tap it & it tells you info about the accident/construction & when is expected to clear. If it's bad, I'm taking the back roads. If it's not too bad or you got time to kill, call your wife and tell her your running late, check your facebook, the news, watch live tv, play angry birds, reply to this post, all while listening to Pandora radio (w/no commercials).

Similar happened to me on my way to ZdayZ in bumf@k TN/NC mountains and I thought I was going to be bear food but I found out: If you had the route pulled up already in navigation it has all the directions saved but just doesn't update where you are (as long as you don't close the navigation). You can hit next (top right, irc) it goest to each next turn and you can follow the directions to your next date. If gps comes back it it will catch up to where you are. It also keeps the actual map saved so you can zoom in and out and find your way just like a paper map.
