Default Re: GPS Operation

These GPS gizmos think they know what we want better than we do so they decide on the route. WRONG!. I was recently travelling on a freeway and about 5 miles short of my exit when the GPS suddenly decided I should exit at the next off ramp. When I checked where it wanted me to go, it was up some side street in now where land. I ignored it but it persisted for several miles after I took the right turn, then decided I might be the one who knows what is going on. Just coz it's new doesn't mean it's better.
People have died over here because they blindly followed what the GPS told them. There is one location north of here where an address in a town several miles away would take you to a place somewhere out in the desert. If you were low on fuel and it's hot, you were in trouble until, after many complaints, Google finally fixed it.
I like MAPS better than GPS!
