Would you be lost without a gps system?

Yes, I would be lost without my GPS. lol. It really helps me get places fast without wasting time getting lost.

No, I don't think I would be lost without a GPS system. I've been able to find unfamiliar places without it. I'll admit, it's nice to have one, but it doesn't always get you where you want to go. At least not the one I have. Sometimes the darn thing leads me around in circles! LOL But even when it gets it wrong it still gets me close enough to figure it out on my own. Happy mylotting!

I only use the GPS on my phone when my friends and I are trying to look for an alternative route when we go out. But most of the time I don't use it because I don't drive. I'd probably use one if I were in another country where it would be impossible for me to get from one point to another. But here in my country I am fine without using a GPS.

It seems we are so much alike. It is easy for me to get lost. I can't recognize the direction very well. It is my weak point. Today due to the advanced tools, I installed a GPS software in my mobile phone and tablet. It is very helpful. Especially it takes a very short time for my tablet to find the GPS signal. I love China

A friend of mine who is in New Zealand says he does not rely on GPS that much because it is not updated at all i really do not know how gps works but here in the Philippines, very few people even use it at all..or none even i think.

No I don't get lost but in fact I think gps gives me unnecessarily long routes. So if I'm in the area that I know even though I don't know the place I'm going to, I follow the road signs, if Im in the area I don't know then it's the most wonderful thing, obviously:)

When I need directions, or am taking a different route on a trip, I check mapquest and/or a map. I don't even use a gps. I have known how to read maps since I was young, and once I've been somewhere, I am great at remembering landmarks to look for where I need to turn, etc. I'm not sure what website you are using, but mapquest and randmcnally are both good and dependable.

I don't think that I would be able to find my way to many places if I didn't have my GPS to be able to rely on. I think that it is a fantastic invention, as it means that there is no need for people to feel as though they can't drive anywhere just because they're not familiar with the area. Plus it makes journey times faster because people don't have to keep stopping to read the map, as the GPS just does everything for you and tells you when to turn, and sometimes even which lane you need to be in if you look at the right one!

Not really but I know many people who if you had took away their GPS, it would be like taking away their right arm. Then again, with a lot of people, they would find themselves getting lost with their GPS as well as without their GPS system. So really it is just something that really does depend on the person and their sense of direction. Of course, it is just an invention that I really had little to no use of. But perhaps that is really just me to say the very least. The experiences of pretty much everyone is going to really vary more or less as they would be lost without their GPS. Yet, it is really just something that will have more use for some people than it will have with others.

Hi Dominique I am still an ancient guy and believe more in the hand held maps when at a new place. The technology in Indian cities is good but not that great in inner and remote areas. Even the cell phone networks fail so relying on GPRS only is useless and much unadvisable

Hello Dominique25, I have a bad sense of direction and a gps system has always been helpful. It helps me get to where I need to be especially when I am traveling to unfamiliar places.

Nah, not needing GPS system since it's kinda expensive here in our country. Marking of identifiable landmarks and knowing the road and politely asking some folks is our key to get to our destination without any problems. Considering your situation, probably getting one, or studying a printed map would do.

yes i would b lost without my GPS. We just moved to a new state. Being That i am in a new state I do not know where anything is at all. I charge my GPS as soon as I know I need to go some where taking my GPS with me everytime I go out the door. When I was in the old state that I lived in before we moved I was like well time to buy a GPS. LOL

i dont use the GPS system and i think i was proven why a couple of weeks ago..as long as we were on the highway..everything was as planned..but when we were trying to get to the particular place, we were all out of wack..on issue was it took us down a road that had boulders in the way..the street that the hotel was on, it was right off the interstate, and the gps never told us to turn..and the killer was...we were in the parking lot of the address we were going to..and the dang thing told us to make a u turn! Really..lol

I have been traveling almost all over our country. But I never use the GPS. Most of my travel I ride a plane and upon arrival, I take a cab, or a bus. So I really do not worry since the cab driver usually is familiar with places. As for the bus, they usually transverse from terminal to terminal and all I have to do is get off on a specific terminal which is usually in a city area or municipal arrea. From there, the taxi is the next thing I can depend on.

I won't be more lost (if I get lost) as with a gps system. Fact is the system is seldom working great (no connection) so there are plenty of spots it will keep saying: get back, turn, go lef, go right, no left, no right. I do find it comfortable if I drive a longer way (over 1000 km's or so) or at certain points (no highway etc). I seldom use it the whole way just when I am in need or there is road blocked or so.. but I still have doubts about the "shortest" or "fastest" road there are many time it takes hours more if I use that suggested road. I agree with you that those printed directions are seldom showing you the best way either.. and many seem to think you already know the road at the point you leave.

there is no gps system in india.. Still i never lost my way :D
