Is this like one of those religous interventions??? In my case the thing lets me ride sometimes when I would be stuck sitting somewhere waiting for the phone to ring. No appologies, I do this as safely as I can and GPS is a handy thing to have, hearing directions instead of looking down at a map or the screen in my book is safer. And as with most on ba.com that use GPS I ride till it is time to go home then use the GPS to guide me there, if I don't know the way.
