Maps are great (I love studying maps), but they don't show the nearest B&B,
Thai restaurant, or gas station. :)
That's the thing, there's a whole lot more to a decent GPS than just
directions.
Ask PEOPLE. They can be very helpful, to the point of giving excellent
directions and special details, sometimes inviting you to join them.
Besides, many maps and guides are available at local businesses, where
you can also talk to people. People are much better local sources than a
GPS. They'll also lend your their phone books, which have maps,
restaurants, gas stations, accommodations. Some will also make phone
calls for you or lend you their phone. [even in big cities]
Want to find a good restaurant? First, ask locals for suggestions. Then
ask what THEIR favorite restaurant is. You'll almost always get a
different answer, and better food.
People power! What's your GPS' favorite restaurant/advertiser?
