Someone I know was coming back to the midwest from Niagara Falls and followed their GPS until they were accosted and taken in for questioning by Canadian officials-they had been led to leave the country. While it was the best route back a 'machine' didn't take everything else into consideration.TallGrass wrote:Want to reconsider? 8 drivers who blindly followed their GPS into disaster & GPS Mix-Up Brings Wrong Turn, and Celebrity, to an American in Icelandpmeadco wrote:I'm guessing somebody with the technology and knowhow to do what you suggest would very likely be smart enough to simply follow a GPS track.kellycarter wrote:I'm guessing most would favor design #1.
Sigh, do I really have to point out the obvious reason that your replies don't make any sense in this context? We aren't asking the GPS to find the route, we are using the GPS to keep us on a route that was obtained from a reliable source, like this web site. Come on, TG, I know you have always been anti-GPS, but this is kind of ridiculous.Rollie Free wrote:Someone I know was coming back to the midwest from Niagara Falls and followed their GPS until they were accosted and taken in for questioning by Canadian officials-they had been led to leave the country.
