Loog, can they really become that addictive? I can see where they can
be a huge advantage navigating in the large metro areas, but hhere in
rural BF Egypt. I found out that it was more of a hinderance then an
advantage. or at least it was for me.

Don't discount the value of that. IF and whenever you DO go to the big
city, it is most helpful to be in the proper lane with all that traffic
bearing down on you.

Actually in the remote it can be good also. going down a few dirt roads
in the Hot Creek area out of Mammoth, CA We got a little turned around
when we hit the main road, well the paved road. And just put a town on
395 in and then we knew which way to turn on the paved road.

My TomTom gives a distance, then an arrow on the lower left quadrant. The
arrow can be straight, or a right angle to left or right. So, it can have a
50 and a right angle arrow to the right. That means turn right in 50 yards.
Or, if it has 2.1, I know the turn is 2.1 miles away. A quick guide to
knowing what's coming.
