Your Gps Device May Be Trying To Kill You
My sister and brother-in-law are both “techies.” Every new technological device that comes out is immediately on their “must have” list. So of course they ran out and purchased a super expensive, got-all-the-bells-and-whistles GPS device. Unfortunately, they ended up with one that apparently was trying to kill them and had hysterics on occasion. They were driving next to a lake once; the lake was on their right-hand side. And the GPS kept trying to get them to turn right. My brother-in-law would shout commands at it, scream an alternate destination, but nothing worked. “Turn right in 100 feet,” was the response from the evil thing. When we took the car ferry across Lake Como this past summer, although "taking car ferry" was an option you could choose, the GPS device kept doing its equivalent of "does not compute!" most of the way across. Then there was the time my sister and I went to Kansas City. This darn GPS device would not let us go the route we chose! Every time my sister went a different way than it wanted her to, it would persistently tell her at every up coming intersection to turn left, so it eventually would turn her around – even if those intersections were gravel roads! Now, I’m not anti-technology, but it seems to me that a glance out your window and a small does of common sense is what more people could use while driving. Having a GPS device is not the equivalent of auto-pilot! Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com Are you looking for more info on a gps receiver for laptop?
