Dunno, GPS seems to be coming strong on bikes, I see many of them clamped on them handlebars these days. I guess people are just so used to having them on their cars it is hard to live without one when one gets that bike? I remember - already couple of years ago by now - been waved over by two gentlemen - on bikes - asking for directions. The other guy sitting there playing with something on his lap. I raise my eyebrows and smile, and the guy talking to me tries to avoid rolling his eyes, fails and just says "yes, it's a gps".
Being such a nice guy, I did not ask them why were they lost then or anything, heh.
So I gave some directions, asked them if they knew where they were going or how to get there with those directions and so forth. It was already getting quite dark too. Should they have hesitated or asked for better directions, I would have had no problem taking them to the highway, but they seemed confident. So I wished them good night and went to work.
If I had a full dashboard, perhaps a gps would be a good idea. But I already smoke, pick my nose, eat snacks and wave at random people and stuff, which hand would I have left to operate the gadget then?
Which reminds me...
I was asking directions for a specific address once myself from a nice lady in her car. She looks at me quite confused and then asks me, that why don't I just punch the address to my gps? I just smiled, thanked her kindly, found the nearest gas station and got my address...
The sucky thing about everybody (else?) being on the gps bandwagon: Can not find local maps you hold in your hand anymore. Stores, truck stops and gas stations used to have racks with maps next to their entrances. They are disappearing quick. And when I find one, they are way too big for my pockets
