Whoa. That's a little harsh. I don't have a GPS....and I also pretty much never get lost, either. Maybe I would like to say that anybody who can't navigate without a GPS is a moron, but that seems a little too reactionary, doesn't it?

LOL, we travel without a GPS and don't have any problems. You just need common sense and a basic road map if you get misplaced. No need to waste money on expensive garbage.

Agreed 110% and I'll say it. Anyone who needs a GPS to navigate is a moron.

Maybe a little harsh, but calling anyone who doesn't use one is a moron is much harsher.

Hrm... I guess I'd never buy a stand-alone unit, but any Android based cell phone (such as the Sprint Evo or Nexus One) has built in Google Map turn-by-turn directions, which has certainly come in handy from time to time. No need to call an entire product sector garbage.

Sorry, but I have no interest in a GPS. Just another gadget to keep track of. I use a simple map and have had no problems.

I liked Duluth. I'd visit again.

Nothing wrong with using GPS...at sea out of sight of land.
