The remark about looking ridiculous while taking pictures with a tablet has been made before, but that might be trumped by the wandering and confused looks of someone staring haplessly at a tablet, any tablet, as they try to find the nearest fill-in-the-blank.

Well my Apple apologist friend there is a old saying - ignorance is bliss.
I can only assume you have never used any GPS and related Apps or if you have then your deliberately down playing there usefulness just to cover Apple's
2011 technological marvel.
After all its just a ipad 2 with a smaller screen and a smaller case with slightly updated OS
GPS is not just used for navigation but for a host of other purposes with the rite App installed like helping you to buy a new house ,finding a new restaurant ,club,bar take away.
Finding the nearest bus station to you and the routes they use.
Helping you keep track while exercising -able to track distances,calories burnt and other things while -cycling ,walking ,running and other sports.
I cant list all the possible uses as it would take far far too long.
Google map is one of the most used GPS based mapping systems in the World and can very useful for any one.
These are just some of the things you can do with GPS and the rite App on a nexus 7.
When i need to find a store i have never been to and don't know the area all i have do is input the address into google maps or any of my other GPS Navigation Apps and it will give me step by step directions to my destination and even update my on traffic congestion.
I also find GPS very useful as i travel overseas regularly and many of the countries i stay the majority of the people don't speak English so getting directing is tough.I can only assume you never had holidays or business trips overseas or travel any where new ?
Of course none of these things will be of any interest to a couch potato type that never leaves there own village/town or state let alone there own country
