True, but driving in a strange city or town and with not much time between exits/turns, you'll appreciate the usefulness of a nav system. And, when we travel (which we do a lot of), we like to find specific types of shops/food and a nav system makes it so easy. I did not however, buy a nav system, but got a Fujitsu tablet PC and Microsoft Streets and Trips 2005 with GPS. This is not just a nav system - its a powerful nav system, I can load more than 1 type of nav software, hook the audio out to car stereo and listen to MP3, play video games, upload photos from digital camera using the CF card slot, and, with an external DVD player, I can watch DVDs and VCDs. My wife and I love this setup.
