I would imagine in a metropolitan environment, it's worthless. In a blizzard with whiteout conditions, in a rally, or on a radio with a convoy, perhaps it can be handy.

Personally, with Nav. systems, it is a pointless feature.

Kinda like stickers, but more high-tech.

Default Considering its around $360 or so iirc to buy a new one

As long as its in good shape and not leaking, I'd say its a good deal.
