From my recent observations, there is still a very low percentage of cars on the road that appear to have GPS units. That seems to me to place such devices in the realm of esoteric as opposed to mainstream such as cell phones. I never said that GPS devices are used solely by geeks in my initial post on this subject. I merely said they were geek toys. Computers have most certainly gone mainstream, yet in many respects, remain geek toys to a huge degree. My main point was to indicate how members of the male order have quickly come to embrace that which they typically would previously shun, that being to take directions from a source other than themselves seemingly because the new source is digital, electronic and geeky.
