Satelite Navigation Systems. Will they take off?

Satellite navigation is one of the fastest growing markets in the world, and with a wealth of devices on offer from various manufacturers. Some can be fitted or come installed in your car, others are handheld devices. Will it take off in Australia/NZ in a big way? Prices for an entry level in-car or handheld system come in around $500 AUD.

I guess it comes down to how often you drive and need directions? Does messing around with a street directory every now and again create the urge to go out and spend $500 on one of these devices?

The jury is out with me and even if I had one I am unsure just how much I would use it.

Do you have any experience of using one of these? Share your thoughts on the subject please.
