What maps? My GPS doesn't use maps, it's a hiking/outdoor GPS. You know, REAL GPS from before those cagers *******ized it. Why someone needs GPS to find their way on a road I'll never know.
I got so lost in a hilly west Austin neighborhood on Monday that I had to use Google Maps a turn at a time to find my way out. Granted, I have zero sense of direction; but it's a confusing 'hood. Were it not for GPS, I would have been either riding forever or calling my wife, who is much better with directions than I am.

Anyway, I was pretty happy to have GPS and Google Maps on my phone...
