GPS can be dangerous
I finally bought one, and have to admit that articles like this make me nervous about following it to closely.
In another example of the evils of computer navigation, a 37-year-old trucker followed his GPS directions to their totally illogical conclusion when he drove his truck down a pedestrian walkway and wedged the delivery vehicle into a cherry tree.
My GPS has taken me down many crescents unnecessarily...I have to admit, I prefer using my map book. The only real advantage to the gps unit is night driving, when it’s hard to see street signs.
