    Never saw the point of putting GPS on your phone. Screen is too small to see and speaker too quiet to hear the instructions in traffic.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Agreed, a dedicated GPS is the best. Garmin has some awesome units that are small enough to fit in your pocket (nuvi series). And if you need to talk while driving, some have integrated bluetooth capability. Personal opinion: stay away from TomTom, I have seen numerous complaints about taking you to wrong places and have witnessed myself directions given on streets that don't exist (3 times during the only day I tried it, and yes it had the most up-to-date maps)

    Only problem with phone-gps combos is the sensitivity of the gps receiver. If you have a weak signal (city area, woods) you may be unable to get the location.

    SatNav (GPS) is evil!
