Yes, because when I enter a new place I totally know where the nearest store or gas station is.

It's really sad that different generations develop superiority complexes over irrelevant things so easily

I grew up with a street directory and having to remember not only the roads and distances, but what roads preceeds the turn offs and such. Can't do that while still driving around

I never understood why older generations would find this sad, I know how to use a map, I know how to memorise roads and turnoffs etc etc. but why would I bother when I have an incredible device at my fingertips that tells me how to get somewhere as fast as possible. If GPS's were a thing back then, they would be used and they don't limit a person's intelligence in anyway.

My mom refused to let me have a GPS in my car to force me to learn how to use a map. Instead I just learned to leave early enough to account for getting lost. Maps are great for walking, but when I need to have my eyes on the road and my hands on the wheel and am moving at car speeds, a map is pretty tough to effectively use without another person as the navigator.

Good luck getting stuck in traffic every day, grandma! And since time is money, the GPS I use on the job saves me a lot of frustration, and it allows me to save at least an hour a day, improving my employer's profit margin, increasing my yearly bonus.

It's really sad that a first lady would not be educated enough to know that you don't pluralize with an apostrophe!!

It's just as sad that you think this is real...

Most of the people I know who are really reliant on GPS are fully aware of how potentially crippling their inability to navigate without it is.
