IMHO a GPS is good for alerting you to which lane to get in on a highway, and thus somewhat helpful in an unfamiliar city.
They suck in rural and/or remote areas.
Even in a city I take a look at a map and get a general idea of the route beforehand.
Good points on rural areas.
On the wifes and my 40th one of our old close friends that lived about 70+ miles away in a big city, came using instructions and a map we supplied everyone.
Well 10 years later they came to our 50th...but used their GPS which sent them 13 miles north on a dead end county road and not a house anywhere. They called and knowing where they were I talked them back to our place on county roads. Others GPS lead them to our house and others GPS didn't but they had sense enough to follow my map.
