    Bit of an odd idea.
    It would be pretty good though if they added some sort of racing minigame.

    Bit pointless but

    Please don't... Navigation things with plotted routes is what ruined the experience of open world games for me :/ You may not realise it but it really adds to the experience when you're actually lost in a videogame, and the Abandoned Industrial Site seems perfect for that :). I remember driving around San Andreas back in the day... I really wanted a GPS back then, because I kept going to the map in the pause menu, thinking "Okay, so the first left, then the 5th right...", doing that route, and ending up in a completely different place because I missed a street or whatever. Then they introduced that sat nav in GTA IV, that I thought would improve the game, and guess what: I just blindly followed the GPS in a mission, never giving me the chance to get lost, which made the city seem even duller than it already was compared to SA. And yeah, you can just not use it, but it's pretty hard to not use something that's blatently screaming "hey I can help you when you're lost!"... Much more fun when I first played Far Cry 3 and I just had no idea where to go, just randomly following roads to see where they lead me...

    EDIT@Fastracer below: ....
    But... .. but... Thats... what I just said...
    "And yeah, you can just not use it, but it's pretty hard to not use something that's blatently screaming "hey I can help you when you're lost!""

    ....?
    *sighs*... *starts crying*...

    Very true.
    I don't see much of a point of adding this to the game. I really hate it too.
    According to me, most of the maps are/will be so beautiful that I think I would love getting lost (although it would be tough for me) :p

    I don't think it should be implemented at all. As most cars gabester made are like 1980s-1990s, which none of the cars even had a GPS.

    There was an option to disable the GPS route in GTA IV :D
