    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.

    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

    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.

    I use a Garmin Nuvi but rarely for directions. I usually keep it on the information screen telling me miles I have been and how far to my destination. I also like to see average speed moving and over all. It is a good record keeper for a road trip.

    Not for me on the bike....Too many distractions now with "dumb ass" drivers looking at their car GPS, talking on cell phones or texting while driving......It is good for some, but not this guy....Regards....
