Interesting, I occasionally use GPS in areas I have not been to. My general philosophy is navigation by approximation, slowly closing in on a destination by finding big landmarks first. Its not the most efficient but it makes for great tours and trips when not in a rush.

This is exactly me and my friends are doing these days. When we have enough time and we want to go someplace on the other side of the city. Instead of using maps to navigate we follow a general direction to reach a landmark first then look at the map once to see our route from there.
