Garmin is my Streetpilot
The thing about GPS units is that you can use them to provide a thorough simulation of the experience of knowing where you’re going. Without knowing where you’re going.
Especially if you’re using a nice little number like the Garmin Streetpilot c510, with its 3D map view and its auto re-route feature. Here’s you, driving along, dum-de-dum-de-dum, you aren’t worried about the route. You’re not straining to read a map under inadequate streetlights in a sketchy neighborhood. You didn’t print out directions before you left home. Shoot, you’re not even all that alarmed if you miss a turn; you’ll get right back on track just as quick as an unexpected fart.
What’s dangerous about this is that you may be taken in by the illusion. You may forget that you do not, in fact, have any idea where you’re going. There you are, looking for all the world like a local with your in-state plates and your casual demeanor. You’re not craning to read street signs or flagging down passers-by for directions. But you aren’t from around here. Bearings, you don’t really have them. What you’ve got is more like bearings-enhancement therapy. You hired it out. The clever little doo-dad stuck to the inside of your windshield, that’s your escort service, showing you around town, creating an illusion that you’ve got social ties here when really you’re just a-passin’ through.
Boy, you’re lucky your GPS has the Garmin Lock™ anti-theft feature, because if someone took that thing away from you, you’d be screeewwwed.
