Today, my dad got me a GPS for my birthday. I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't have a permit or a car. FML

Attach it to your bicycle. You never know when you might need it.

Meh, use it for a bike maybe? And how old are you that you don't have a permit or licence yet? If you're too young than okay, FYL I guess. But if you are well over old enough to be driving and are just being lazy YDI :P

They have walking modes on most models, and typically lots of business listings. It's a tremendously useful device regardless of whether you have a car.

To everyone telling OP to get a car and asking why he/she doesn't own one yet, have you priced cars lately? They're not cheap, even used ones. Or if they are cheap, there's probably a reason why, usually a bad one. I'm 26 and just got my first car ever this June. I was lucky to find a 7-year-old car with less than 40,000 miles on it at a halfway decent price. But yeah, just because OP doesn't have a car doesn't mean he/she is being lazy. It's probably financial reasons preventing the investment.

Exactly! I got my license and first car at 23. Why? Money! Not because I am lazy. License , insurance, car, it's all too pricy.

Maybe your dad thought you need some "direction" in life ;)

Driving isn't the only reason to own a GPS.. A GPS can also be useful if you're into hiking and exploring and such. Also, smartphones often come with some kind of map or GPS-like app, and that doesn't necessarily mean the owner of the phone has a car..

But as I said, a GPS can also be used for hiking, etc. Not necessarily only for cars.

You can walk with it, or you can attach it to your bicycle. No problem.

Take a hint, hes telling you to get a license.
