I have a panel mount GPS in one of my airplanes, and having airport data available on it is really useful. That said, I can get by without it and always know roughly where I am on my paper sectional chart.

I do not have a GPS for my car, but since getting a smartphone last year, I have used the GPS feature a couple times while on trips. I still plan my routes beforehand and have never felt the need to "rely" on a GPS in a car for the primary route to my destination. I do think they are neat for spur of the moment sidetrips to nearby attractions while vacationing.
