I've seen too many times where i pulled out the gps, but my wife thought she knew better than the gps and was wrong.
The gps may take us a wierd route at times but it will usually get us close. But intuition will get you completely lost.

If I know the way I'm not going to follow the navigator...if I was forced on a detour then of course I would.

If you have a TomTom, even if you don't have live traffic data, follow the unit. It uses something called "IQ Routes" which use historical traffic data to plan the best route for that time of day and that day of the year.

I took the wrong direction on the highway to pick up my husband when I was pregnant. I was fairly familiar with the route.
I'll follow the GPS.

I have no sense of direction so I trust that thing..but I can always call that destination if I get lost

I know most the cities that I've lived in like the back of my hand. So no.
GPS technology will be helpful in 10 years when they really develop it. Just a slow robot for the moment. Plus it's not rocket science.
Visiting new cities yes...but I most likely have it all in my head by departure.

I don't trust GPS... or at least mine. I typed in my friend's address. I was going down a remote road that was near it and it said I had reached my destination. It told me to turn right... into a ditch.

My own moderate experiential (and thus narrow) knowledge of an area vs. a computer system that tracks traffic patterns, road distance, and speed limits?
At the very least I'll try it once.

I hate nav systems. I don't understand why people buy then. I usually use google maps but just to find out where the address is because it sends you the wackiest ways sometimes.

Depends. If the sat nav picks a route i dislike or if i know another way i think is better, i will go my own way.
On the other hand if i'm not sure, or the sat nav says there is traffic on my route i will follow it.

I'd be more inclined to listen to my mother-in-law from the back seat, even though she hasn't been in the area for 40 years.
Has anyone else noticed the rise in missing persons in the last few years? And the direct correlation to the increasing number of GPS (Grab People Secretly) systems in use?

My navigation system involves my brain, an up-to-date road atlas, and two Mark I Eyeballs. It works in tunnels, clouds, and mountains. And I never get lost.

Found too many tomtom goons list on trails to blindly follow navigation

This question assumes everyone owns a navigation system. Some of us still rely on the lost art of planning, map reading, and pulling-over-to-ask-someone (verbal comminication) skills for getting from A to B.
