Anybody travel with a GPS? I can't decide if I should get the Nokia N95 as an all in one device. Is it useful to have a GPS?

I used a GPS when thru hiking the Pacific Northwest Trail. If you're planning on heading into the jungle for long stretches, it's gonna be useful.

But for regular hostel-and-hotel style travelling, it's probably unnecessary. Save the money and buy a map when you get there.

Besides, sometimes getting lost is half the fun.
