You got a good one for motorcycling. As far as dedicated GPS, you are spot on.
I haven't used a GPS for years, relying on Google Maps on my iPhone bluetoothed into my helmet via a Sena intercom.
It rides in a clear pouch on the glove box on my Spyder. Plays my music, interrupts for phone calls or directions seamlessly.

Had Waze on this morning for the ride from Los Gatos (Silicon Valley), through SF, to Petaluma (wine country); 90 miles.
I've heard good things about it.
A voice came on a couple of times warning about CHP traps and red light cameras...
Pretty cool.

My go to GPS is the Garmin truck driver styler GPS and it works great. It's way too big for a motorcycle. Happy biking!

When I delivered pizza in the summer of 1989, the boss had a rule. If you don't know exactly where you're going, you don't leave the store until you look at the map and understand the route you'll take.

Maybe.
I have no problem with a GPS, and they are pretty cool. My dad was always a gadget fan, and I've seen the standalones work, and the aftermarket ones, and the integrated ones. They are great, but just like any electronic device, you cannot rely on it constantly, and when things really matter, having a map backup is great. On the other hand, I've always been very good at reading maps, and I know some people are not, so something that guides them where they are going is helpful. Some cities are also better designed than others, and some highways have very good signage making it very difficult to get lost.
