I was given a GPS as a present. I've long had issues with navigation in cars and not liking to go places, but I didn't realize just how bad those issues were until the GPS eliminated most of them. Before being given it, I wouldn't've paid more than $50 for it. After, I would easily have paid $200+.
If you have a modern smartphone with a modest data plan, does a discrete GPS still hold any advantages?
They seem to be more accurate, since I'm not sure how many cellphones come with GPS built-in (as opposed to triangulating off cell phone towers).
It seems that modern smartphones all contain GPS chips. I've heard that the Android version of Google maps is finally allowing you to download maps of routes and use them offline.
