You guys really need these devices to find your way around town?

I don't but occasionally they come in very handy. Trying to find a business
establishment in highly developed areas for example.

The factory unit in one of our vehicles has a feature whereby you simply
enter the telephone number of the business, store or whatever and the unit
responds with directions.

I've noticed that more often than not when someone is coming over to our
house for the first time, they simply ask for the street address. No more
detailed direction giving required.

Might be some use Yahoo or other directions, like I do.
But what's nice is having a cell phone, calling your destination,
and saying, "Ok, I'm by the Shell station on Fripp, heading toward
a Walgreens. Where do I go now?"
