Re: Product seems like overkill; GPS by itself is near universal
Mapping out directions before is good. But sometimes you may take a wrong turn, sometimes you may miss an exit, sometimes, it is nice to have it calculate out your directions that you didn't initially plan for. It is also nice to hear the estimated time until you arrive, see up to date traffic situations (XMnav) as well as have someone reading the directions to me when I don't have a human navigator (helps with saftey since i can keep my eyes on the road more). Helps reduce the human error. It is not perfect but a great tool. Try one out and you will appreciate it. This is not for getting directions to the local grocery store or the local gym. If it is so local and close to home you probably don't need gps. Also you may find quicker routes home when you have the visual map realtime in front of you. I have had gps on my laptop for years and i love it, just not lugging around the laptop.
