Vector fields and navigation meshes

I believe that the original core path, however, is found via A*. The flow field is simply a result of the units using path following with separation. Therefore, it is not really a full pathing solution using flow fields.

Ok so I'm going to implement a nav-mesh / vector field combo for path navigation over a large 3D terrain. I was also having a look at Cuda and doing the vector field following on the GPU as I thought this might be quite a jolly endeavour.
Has anyone got any opinions on using the GPU for this type of thing?? I have read things which are both for and against using the GPU for things other than graphics.
