    Do you use a GPS?

    I don't, but curious to know how many do and why.

    Yes, a Garmin Zumo 550. (please do not ask Steve which one he uses, as his GPS is....mis-leading...

    I do. I have a Garmin 660. I use it to find fuel stops, local attractions, and for miles and time between my way points.

    Not all I use

    When I travel, yes, I use a GPS BUT! I also have a map of every state that I am visiting and I consult the map along with using the GPS.

    No. What little traveling I do is pre-planned.
    I have previously mounted a GPS to my bike and didn't use it for much than telling me what the speed limit was.

    Zumo 665 for me with BT connectivity to my Galaxy S4. I'm pretty well spoiled by it .

    Yes, of course, when traveling to parts unfamiliar. Safer than taping a map to your tank, which is what I used to do.

    Yep, What he said. I have an ancient Garmin 2610 that refuses to die. It does the job.

    I always have a good idea of the roads I want to use on a road trip and rarely use it to determine my route.

    That being said, my gps has taken me on great roads in my own state that I wouldn't have ridden.
    13 F6B Deluxe I've taken the road less traveled, now where the hell am I?
    I don't buy a bike to impress other people, just me !!

    Yes I sometimes lead group rides.It is easier to know where you are going without making u-turns all the time
    Ride it like you stole it

    Just installed a new Zumo 665 LM. I bought this model because it has XM radio, weather radar and bluetooth connection with iPhone.

    By the way, what's a paper map? Is that like a typewriter or a rotary telephone with a cord?
