I've nearly been hit by people looking at their gps instead of the road. They don't signal, drift between lanes, make last minute exits ("I'm 3 lanes over and my exit is 100ft ahead. Better start moving."), tailgate, panic stop, etc. They are distracted drivers.
Quick, ban sat-navs.
ban cars
Ban satellites.
How about people just pick up a road map once in a while and learn the rough layout of their city.
I can pretty much get anywhere I want to in Perth because I know where most of the main roads are and if I don't know where something is exactly, I know it's general direction and that if I cross road "X", then I've gone too far.
Reading a map and general navigation skills are so incredibly useful and save so much time that's wasted by either inefficient GPS routes or fiddly menus.
And if you're not in a rush to get somewhere, it really doesn't hurt to just wing it for a while (assuming you don't mind a little extra fuel consumption once in a while), because you often get a better feel for where you are and it helps if you're ever out that way again.
Ban people.

I know where to get everywhere in my own city. GPS's are useful if you are unfamiliar with the area.
