I hate the things. I can navigate better on my own. Whenever somebody has one, I try to beat the estimated time. Gimmy a map and compass any day.

As a medic, I refused to let new partners use them. Did they really expect to sit and punch in addresses when seconds count? They need to know the roads.

If I ever saw another crew using one, and they were out of there truck, I'd change the voice setting to swedish. "Bjork 2 kilometeres BORK BORK BORK!" People would really flip out when that happened.
