You may be right. Here is what I want to use a GPS for:

• I usually use maps and charts to plan my trips. Often I go on sideroads, rail trails and tow paths, that apparently are not on the maps provided for the GPS units.
• I'm not sure I would do any route planning on tour other than to get around an obstruction. Since the maps don't indicate how bike friendly roads are, again the GPS is not that useful.
• I stealth camp and my wife is concerned that she doesn't know at night exactly where I am. She calls this 'knowing where to find the body'. I imagine just a plain GPS with longs and lats will provide CSI with the info.

So it seems I'm not buying a GPS this time around.

Thanks guys!
