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.

I have (had a GPS unit, my daughter who has moved to Adelaide for school has now taken possession! So I have invested in another!) but I couldn't have done the travelling I have done over the last few years, without it. I have travelled mostly to take my children to different sporting events as we are in the country and they have qualified for state events in the city, 5 hours away. It definetly gave me an unreal confidence while I was driving, mainly in the city but also when I was travelling to somewhere I had never been before. But also, I always like to know where I am going so I always look at maps for the "big" picture before leaving on any trip. So the maps and street directorys will always have a place in the car but the GPS units are one of the best things ever, for allowing me to be an independent women driver!!
