Exactly, for most people it's a toy. For some it's very useful and for a very few it speeds their day along.

I don't know where I might be needed to go and at a moments notice, with no time to loose plan a route - so for me it is very much a great piece of technology. It takes much of the stress out of my job when I need to move fast and precisely to where am needed.
