• It takes you much less time to organize a trip, instead of having to search for maps on the internet you can just jump in the car and let the GPS do the research for you.
• Previously you may have printed out a map from the internet and written down arrows or directions with a pen so you would know which turn off or street to turn into. This hassle can no be avoided.
