I have a Garmin Street pilot nav system and love it. Why buy a map when I can plug in the street address and the GPS will send me where I want to go? Mine Nav system is small and easily removable, so I only need one for multiple vehicles and theft is not a problem. The autorouting is not perfect and I often follow different routes just because I have looked at the map, but when you get near the end, and you are on unfamiliar streets, having the GPS direct you is really nice. With the GPS if I miss a turn because there was some sort of unforeseen problem (road construction, in the wrong lane at the wrong time, est.), my GPS just refigures the route and tells me where to go. I can always choose to ignore it (and I often do). Admittedly I did not need a Nav system for the first 30+ years of driving to find my destination, but I still find it to be useful. It is also nice to be able to get a running estimate of my arrival time, and have the ability to locate upcoming fuel rest stops. And although mine can talk, that is optional.
