I've grown to appreciate GPS but at the same time, I find it problematic

(for ME) at times. I'm good with directions but I stink at judging distance, so when I'm in a suburban or urban area with roads every few hundred feet, and I'm struggling to read the names of the streets and my GPS is saying "turn in a quarter mile", and we now have digital odometers that only roll over at the mile and don't tick off the tenths of miles, well, I can easily miss a turn when following the GPS <g>.

Not to mention the time I was in Blue Ridge, Georgia, on a mountainside with the family, and the GPS was insisting we were "home" (home being the rented cabin) when we were no longer even in the same COUNTY as home...
