   And how much of that pertains to driving.  One can drive just fine withoug an   
   electronic gizmo glued to you. Try it sometime.

   I drove every state in the union minus Hawaii including many coast to coast.    
   Usually one map per state.  If you feel you need to be looking at a map while   
   on a trip, do it the way sensible people do and look at whatever version of a   
   map (paper or    
   electronic) when the vehicle is not moving, like while fueling up, eating or,   
   wonder of wonders,  before you get in the car.  It ain't rocket science.
