Interesting question. I find my self using my iPhone GPS more and more even if I know where I am going, just to measure time and find side locations. However GPS only shows you where you are and the next turn. If we are going cross country we always carry a road map, just to get a feel of what's the next town how big is it etc. Road maps also give you a great sense of accomplishment from beginning to end. As far as the compass, my dad can point to North after being blindfolded and spun around 10 times. I did not get such a trait, thus the factory installed compasses on my vehicle of of little use.
