I understand your point - But GPS does not need the internet! Get a map.

I didn't say that "GPS" needed the Internet. I was saying that the people who get GPS -- and those funny numbers -- are the ones who are going to need the Internet to make sense of it... LOL...
And, I can walk up to 100 people on the street, give them the GSP coordinates and hand them a map and ask, "Where is this?" and I'm willing to bet that all 100 could never tell you from those "funny GPS numbers".... :-)
But, I could hand those same 100 people the iPhone (for one example) and have them pull up the Google maps function and they would know exactly what to do.
In other words, the GPS funny numbers are totally useless to people -- unless -- you have something that you can use to translate those numbers to usefulness.
On the iPhone, that's Google Maps and the Internet. On my laptop, that would be the mapping program I have (and then I don't have to have the Internet).
That's just the facts of the matter... :-)
