My phone as GPS didn't pan out

[the Ferret]

When I went to the Moonshine Lunch Run, a guy showed me a bluetooth thing about an inch and half long by 1/2" wide with ear buds that pairs to your phone. He said you could get them nearly everywhere for $20 and then listen to voice turn by turn directions using a gps/map app on your smart phone which could be in your pocket or tank bag. I guess that is what chync is talking about.

I use a gps so rarely (usually paper maps) but when honing in on a motel in a strange city I can see where that would come in handy. I did use an old Tom Tom 1 GPS when I went out west a couple of years ago but mainly for distance to destination info. They haven't moved any towns or cities since then that I know of. They only add roads, they don't subtract them as far as I know lol. Using any old GPS will get you there, it might not be the most direct route, but it WILL get you there.
