3) you've traveled to another city and want to use inforspace to find a resturaunt etc.
4) you want to play with the sattelite maps in google. (This is more fun then usefull)

I am sure there will be more uses as apps come out in the future.

The 8300 will do all of this but you have to carry that $100 puck everywhere and have it charged which for me will not happen.
I would've agreed with all your reason until I realized that, prior to my 8800, I didn't have GPS, and managed just fine.

When I'm not in my car, or in any of the first three scenarios you describe, I simply pull out Beyond411. It serves my needs quite well.
