I am darned good with a map, and my wife worked in the field with a surveyor for 3 years, so she does well with a map to, but maps don't tell you to get in the left lane to make an exit from the left in 6 miles nor do they warn you of sharp curves in the road.
I resisted a GPS for a long time but when I took my son to Virginia to pick up my grand daughter last summer he had borrowed a Garmen which got us there without a problem. Never once took the Atlas out from the map holder. When we were going on a trip to pick up our female Samoyed I went to Walmart and got one the night before we left. I told the clerk if it didn't put me in my driveway I would bring it back because most systems had folks turning one block too soon.
This one took me right to the drive way.
This one has already paid it's way with no getting lost, and having the speed limits right there in front of you, as well as the speed on the GPS.
It is nice to find the food and gas stops too.
