Often, getting lost just becomes an adventure and you see things you might not have otherwise. I always allow extra time when traveling for unplanned stops, traffic, whatever, so getting lost is not that big a deal.

I rarely use my GPS for trips -- really, that's just TOO much detail when you're going from point a to point b on marked roads. I do use it, though, in downtown Atlanta, because those one-way streets at rush hour can do a number on you! I'll also use it to navigate into a neighborhood to somebody's house, mostly because I'm lazy and don't like having to look at the little piece of paper that says, "turn left at first stop sign, then go to the blue house and go right, then 2nd left, then 1st right again." It's easier when Michelle croons into my earpiece, "Turn right, then prepare to turn left in 300 ft. Your destination is on the right."
