To be honest I'd have thought keeping the gps unit out would mean you're 
less likely to get harassed - it makes you look like you're kind of doing 
something official.

Luckily I've never really had any major trouble but my standard response 
would probably be "Got the internet? Look up www.openstreetmap.org. Is 
your street on there and named? No? Will it soon will be..."
