We like the GPS for the same reason--frees us up from fumbling with
maps, especially when you need a quick re-routing. We did, the other
day, going from Raleigh to Durham, and got it faster than we could have
with maps. We both have smart phones so a GPS is built in but we pull
out the old Garmin every so often, just to give it some use. We did the
lifetime maps upgrade thing but had to choose between eastern and
western USA as the mapping has grown so detailed.

Reading it over, I see that you can leave out the Coke. It adds a bit of
sugar, nothing else really. I use red wine or cider vinegar, bay leaves,
peppercorns, allspice berries, juniper berries, onions and water to make
my marinade. It's one of our favorite dishes; I usually make it every
fall when the weather cools off. It goes well with red cabbage and
noodles or spaezle.
