Damn if I understand why these things are such an attraction.
Especially the ones in cars. What a distraction, and mistakes these

amazing is how they seem to reveal who can and who cannot read a map
and do basic orienteering. I can see some advantage at sea and maybe
in calling in air support, artillery, nite ops etc but otherwise ? I
see folks using them just for simple stuff like where is north. I just
don't get it.
