Kind of... For me, when traveling, it's not so much about arriving at my
target, but the experience of getting there. And this is possibly
enhanced by the occasional chat about where I am and where I want to go.
It seems that these aids not exactly make these experiences impossible,
but probably less frequent -- you just don't ask. With which one may
lose out on something.

Besides, "modern navigational aids" and "freedom" in the same sentence
immediately caused the image of a thousand firearm-bearing freedom
fighters on their way to defend their freedom, guided by their modern
navigational aids, which are connected to a system that's been hacked by
the enemy -- and when they think they're getting to their secret meeting
point, boom! :)
