I have no issues with what people prefer and it's even fine if people prefer not to use GPS. I just don't want people to draw the conclusion that doing certain things is
necessary.
Cuesheets pretty-much only inform you about street names (and force you to learn where the street signs are). It's also a nuisance to keep track of what line is current.
GPS units can provide street names too. They also provide maps, which provide a better sense of how things are arranged.
In terms of information, cuesheets provide a narrow view and a GPS provides a wider view.
Quite a few people don't really use the maps on the GPS. In that case, it becomes something telling them what to do rather than something that provides information.
