I don't understand where this notion that 90%+ of taxis in Japan have GPS comes from. I can only think it's from people how hang out in central Tokyo.
Even at the main Shinkansen station in Osaka, there's a 50% probability that a taxi driver wont have (or wont know how to use) a GPS. I've regularly had taxi drivers dig out dogeared maps to try and figure out where I want to go.
If you give an taxi driver and address, they often take you to the general location and then need help from there.
