New No you don't.
The maps you have are not likely to show streets, county roads, etc., that are available on a GPS system. You would need a book of detailed maps all along your path to match a GPS system.

New Maps + local gas stations == cheap GPS

New Point taken

New Yep - that got me through some pretty arcane off-ramp
"side roads" 'twixt Sonoma CA and the well twistificated locus in Flagstaff AZ: first try!

(I did, however; pull off to peer closely at the Insets I'd had the good fortune to notice I'd Need! -- a few miles prior to 'town'.)

I'll have to stay with this model, heartwarming as is the idea of Sophia Loren's sultry voice cooing, You're so Masterful.. get ready to turn off in 3.14159 miles.. Big Boy..
