I personally get around most of the time without GPS. I'll pull up a map and figure out directions, mapquest style. I think it keeps your brain plastic to navigate the world around you from memory, and I thing using a GPS is unhealthy for all but long distance trips on unfamiliar roads. For those scenarios, I use OSM. I have been a contributor, I love it, it is more accurate than google and I couldn't give a damn about traffic information. I'm fine with the dynamic nature of finding out what traffic is like when I'm on the road, life is boring when experiences are entirely predictable.
