As the only person that drives the car, I mainly use it for viewing history of trips. It's also handy for looking up coordinates that I can use to add ge-locations to photographs I've taken. The units really come into their own when you have other people driving your car or if you have units in stalled in family member's cars. Nice to know where your teen aged kids are and know if they aren't driving within the parameters you'd like. And when you take your car in for service or repairs you can monitor just what the workshop staff are up to. We've caught workshops doing things they shouldn't on several occasions.
