I am now torn about fitting a GPS to my bike after listening to Adventure Rider Radio and the 7 tips podcast where someone related the sight they had of a guy riding up and stopping in the middle of a town. He proceeded to tap things into their GPS unit and ignoring the other traveller that was sat watching them - not because he was rude, he was just fixated on the GPS unit. That was a good advert for a map as that brings locals around to help you. The opportunity to meet people has got to be a major part of the reason for travelling surely? I may take one as back up though - yes I am a hypocrite!
