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.

They are good to a degree but you still need to have an idea of where you are travelling and not rely totally on them as I have been in vehicles where they have
* tried to take us across a river where there was no bridge
* take us on a bi-pass where we weren't able to exit
* try to take us on a road which didn't exist
They have also been known to cause accidents with drivers taking their eyes off the road to look at the screen.
