I think that GPS units are very clever things and that they will take off as an easy way to find your way around. Not that expensive and very handy to use. I travelled form Melb to Cairns and back useing different routes each way and it took me as direct as possible to every address that I entered.

My TomTom is always beside me wehre ever I go and as a bus driver its so good it takes the stress out of driving. Ofcourse its not without its faults but then compare that to a street directory or map! how do you read it whilst moving? they were great in there time, but you need a navigator to read them for you, then what do yuo do when the road is un-named or where there is a street on the map which has never been made and you have a gully between you and the rest of street? Whatever you use you will always need common sense!
