    Amen on your post. I am GPS Challenged. That is what maps and the sun is for. I don't need no stinking GPS at night, that's what drinking is designed for. Can I get an Amen brothers and sisters?

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.

    True, but you could mark the areas that deer or other road hazards are spotted with a coordinate indicating such. Either to share with others or future reference.

    Use deer whistles and avoid having to mark the places of your near misses, or impacts!

    Put the deer whistles on backwards so to have the deer run AWAY!

    I use a GPS when traveling in an area that's new to me or when I'm leading a group. I've used a GPS in the past to know my speed but my F6B speedo is correct. This is my eighth MC and the first with an accurate speedometer.

    Have used a GPS for several years. Mine is a Garmin 450. no voice. Really helps on long trips. Also agree with Steve. Sometimes down here in the back country it helps to find my way home after a long ride.
