I use GPS every time I leave my little rural county...it is essential. I use Waze as my nav application and it is spectacular for traffic, police, hazards, time to destination, etc.
I frankly can't imagine not using it.
All that said, there are a few tips to help:
- Route overview is your friend. Enter your destination, let it calculate then overview the entire route, zoom in and out. I carry an Atlas with me and compare the suggested route with the map, map.
- Run a second app. I do it all the time. Waze gets to talk, the second app is quiet.
- Cities. This is where Waze and other app are critical. Again, I get a general sense of the route then compare with the paper. Washington, DC is a mess, Waze makes it less so.
I flew all over the planet without GPS in my trusty H-60, did the first GPS testing in Navy aircraft, etc.: GPS, properly managed, is the best, safest tool ever.
