I think GPS increases geographical curiosity, not undermines it.

This technology is objectionable for a different reason:  A good software 
architecture compresses out every pattern into parameterized macro or higher 
order function.  There should be no need to say anything more than once.   
Whether or not that is achieved in practice is beside the point:   Shoddy 
design should not be be enabled by developer tools.

    GPS seems to be undermining geospatial awareness and wayfinding skills?
