Re: Anonymous : "Oh wow, my i-phone can tell me where I am."
Err, no !
Where I live it would (at best) be able to tell me what town I am in - but it REALLY REALLY wouldn't be any use for navigation below that level.
I too generally know where I am, or can work it out. But I have to admit that having a GPS can make life a whole lot easier (as long as it's only PART of the navigation package that includes a sense of where I'm heading !).
