    If you haven't used a GPS on a motorcycle you wouldn't understand.

    I have listened to people for years talkin against gps units
    A reason not to have one
    A gps unit is a tool in your tool box that gives you a advantage
    If you got the correct unit it can show you motels,food,lodging ,gas,hospitals and you can see a super sharp turn ahead of you
    You can look to see if a road goes threw too
    It has many uses too
    But if you have a closed mind and don't want onethwy can't help you
    I have used them for over 12 yrs
    A non gps person can't talk to me about them

    Well Iphone works just fine. Once you start depending on a GPS so much you'll need one to get to the end of your driveway, before you leave the house. Traveled across the Western and Northwestern areas of the US and never needed one.

    Oh crap just looked up and its snowing hard out. :gah:
