GPS Navigation

LOL. :D

GPS is fine, it's usually on the phone, when we do have signal, not more than that. If not, I simply stick with local directions or the old plain map. The wife loves the map, so she is my walking GPS when everything else fails. :)
Interesting, my wife is something of a living GPS in the car. She's fun to watch.

It is kind of crazy to think about how far this particular technology has come, and it is probably up there with the most if that is a list somewhere. I am sure it will only get better, too.

Other than in my car, I don't own any GPS units. I do have on my wrist at all times an ABC watch from Protech, it used to be called a pathfinder but I think they were bought out by Casio.
A = altimeter
B = barometer
C = compass
I've owned three different Protech's and at no fault of the watch "lost" two of them. I use the compass feature a great deal. It has numbers of things it can do but for the sake of this conversation I'll leave it at I use the compass often. It is remarkable accurate and dependable.

There is even an app that you can download for finding star constellations. You just point the camera part of the phone toward the constellation, and it will show the star names and constellation. We downloaded one while out in the boat late one night. It was pretty cool laying in the boat floating around looking at the stars. Learning something.
