To each, his own, I suppose. It wouldn't stop (and hasn't stopped) me, but 
I live in a place (California) that has most of its roads already present, 
though badly mis-aligned in places. So, I guess I take my trips to add 
value in terms of those POIs, road characteristics (lanes, speed limits, 
condition), turn-restrictions, etc.  Not to mention, it's been fun going 
out there and seeing places I've never been.
