Heck, I don't even need "GPS" to have GPS convience, it can be done using wifi and celltower locators.

Also, I also stopped reading after the GPS comment.
True, but since I've been using GPS before the proliferation of all these free apps (getting updates "conveniently" through the mail on disc ), I read it a different way.

Gotta run, some kids look like they're step on my lawn...
