funny to see this study confirm what I already believed from experience. It's like you become a slave to the GPS and your brain shuts down. I often found I'd get lost more easily and more often even driving routes I'm already familiar with. Uhhh, ok, turn right here, oh shoot, how'd I still manage to miss that?! But if I would just conceptualize in advance how to get there, I wouldn't even need the GPS and almost never missed a turnoff. lol

Very true.
Obviously when you're in a foreign city a GPS is great, but it doesn't help at all when actually trying to learn and memorize your surroundings!
