    We don't even have a car with a GPS and I wouldn't either. For one thing, I don't want anybody to just be able to find my car at any time from the computer in it. For another, I am not going to be taking directions being yelled at me by the car. And apparently there's some good reasoning behind that because check out this report that asks does GPS erode your brain?

    My car doesn't have it, but I don't think it's a bad thing to have. Comes in handy if you're ever car jacked and kidnapped. I imagine it's mostly criminals and people doing something illegal that would object to OnStar.

    I have a GPS, but I hardly use it. I already know this city and even if I was somewhere in a different city, all I would need to do is look at a map and I would be able to go wherever I needed to go. Unlike most people, I have an excellent sense of direction. My best friend is just fucking horrible when it comes to directions and getting somewhere. Always taking the long way and shit. Especially when we're going to places out on island. I'm like 'bitch, you live here and you still don't know where you're going?'. Craziness.

    I have one in my car, but I don't use it very often. I still much prefer Google Maps. I consider myself excellent at navigation though. I love how my GPS tells me which side of the road that my destination is located on though.

    I don't have a car and if I did it would likely have very few modern conveniences in it.

    However, while visiting my sister in Missouri I had to drive their car while they were away, which meant taking our mother to appointments and such. I am not familiar with all the winding country roads in those parts so they programmed the GPS for the different places I would be going. Also there was comfort that wherever I was I could hit "Home" and get back    .
