Had GPS been available-the premise would need to be changed-if you think about it-if us humans develop GPS maybe a decade after this film,why doesn't the Spaceman have the ability to find his destination without a map? Aaah-who cares,the road trip makes a good movie

Maybe "Spaceman" does, but this wasn't him. This was him in an alien body and with a crashed craft.

I should know better-I always get a snarky reply when posting on any Sci Fi thread

The projected map was for Jenny's benefit, so that she could drive him to the location.

Maybe he could have used one of his spheres to transport himself to the crater, but that would have made the movie very short.
