For those unfortunate geographically impaired people, of which I am a card carrying member, the +'s out weigh the -'s.
It has saved me more time than it has wasted.
But it is fun to play the "GPS scavenger hunt" game occasionally. This is where you tell it to get you to a destination that you do know where it is and see how it gets you there. I have done this and found some great roads that I had never though of taking before. I have also had it get me within a 1/4 mile from my destination, and then it throws in a scenic detour of 3 or 4 miles.
I was using my GPS this weekend and it had me going north on Wadsworth, then it had me turn off Wadsworth and go east (Churchranch Rd) for about 3 miles to get on the highway (US36). Once on the highway, it had me go north west and get off on the second exit, which was the Wadsworth exit (maybe 2 or 3 miles on the highway). Distance from my exiting Wadsworth to where it had me get back on Wadsworth, about 1/2 mile.
And if you really want to have fun, set your Nuvi in "Fuel Saving Mode".
