Go Green; Go GPS
Interesting data over at GPS Tracklog. They grabbed some data from TeleAtlas study that says life gets simpler and greener when you use a GPS:
Shortens driving distance by 5%
Reduces travel time by 13%
Reduces wrong turns by 37%
Cuts stops for drivers re-orienting themselves by 33%
Reduces collisions 2.5%
Burns 12.5% less fuel
Reduces emissions by 7%
Can't say what the baseline is, but it must be some kind of "When taking a trip..." or "When driving in an unfamiliar place...." type of deal.
