I have no issues with what people do or prefer. It's the implication of some people (not you) that other preferences are wrong that is awful.
People ask questions about using GPS's and it's almost certain that other people will show up to unhelpfully piss on that interest (fietsbob does this regularly). I doubt that people who do this have any real understanding of how the devices are used.
I really like riding with a GPS (it's fine by me if some people don't!). There
is a learning curve (something people might not expect) but once you are beyond that, it's not "burdensome" to use it.
I know (and trust) people who don't use them and are fine. I've also seen people, more-experienced that I, not use them and mess-up navigation.
