DEAR DR. BROTHERS: I recently bought my boyfriend what I thought was a perfect gift. He would always be going on about how great these new global positioning systems are -- how you could never get lost with one and how they made maps obsolete -- so I figured I'd buy him one for his birthday. Now it seems we can't leave the house without it. He turns it on to find places he already knows how to get to. He has the utmost confidence in the gadget (even though it has already let us down with several dead ends), and gets very upset when I tell him to look at a real map. He seems to be taking its side over mine! What should I do? -- S.W.

The reply included:
"I would caution against ... coming between a boy and his new toy", and
"...you should be very pleased that he likes your gift so much.", but do read the full story:

If her boyfriend's interest was PC GPS, rather than just navigation on a PND, than he would be invited to join us here at
