Those magic spots. And navigation. And music.    I thought you would like
this.

Its nice, when you're navigating around an unfamiliar area, to be able to
have a realtime update of where you are exactly.  Its also fun to have a
trace of your trip, if you're the kind of person who gets out a bit.  Nice
in the forests and among nature, for example, to find that 'magic spot'
again ..

GPS is a good reason to get out more.
