No, I don't need a map to get to work and back, but I do map out a route if I want to go from work to a friend's house on the other side of town, then to a new store that opened up north of town, then home. The cue sheet clip is something I never knew I needed until I had one -- now I use it all the time just around town. Thanks for the great gift guides -- you've given me some good ideas!
