Oh, MLOD!

"It's all well and good trusting your sat nav but how about trusting your eyes and when there's not a road in front of you, don't keep driving."

Oh, MLOD!

My Garmin Nuvi told me there was road from town that gets into Gaston's the back way.

The "road" turned into a gravel cow path that ended at the front porch of a house. Being that I used the glass panel up top along with the video screen, I turned around.

OK, that had me spit out a cold drink onto the keyboard. You owe me one Grant. LOL

There's a Saturn car commercial that just started airing in our market where the driver makes a sudden left turn as instructed by his GPS and then plunges off a cliff and crashes into the water below. The funniest part is when the GPS says "recalulating" as the car is in free fall.

And it says he drives for a living? :frown6:s5:

On the surface, blaming the GPS is misplaced. It looks like that couple
suffered a case of p*** poor planning. Fortunately they are ok.

Well it's gotta be somebody else's fault...

A few years back (8 or so), before GPS navagation in cars was commonplace, I had MapQuest take me on some interesting excursions. For some reason most of them were in Arizona.
