Would have made one helluva action flick, though.I have heard so many of these cases: a man using GPS drives off the end of a pier.......a woman drives down railroad tracks (didn't she think the drive was juuuuuuust a tad bumpy?????? )...........a man drives up a set of stairs and crashes into an outhouse. I think sometimes DA is a wee bit harsh but in this case absolutely, positively spot on. I remember the case Tom is talking about; it made our local news.
When I bought my first GPS, just for the neck of it I used it to "navigate" between my mom's house and my own. At one point it directed me to drive through a farmer's field (this because the road had been realigned several years before and the map hadn't been updated) and a few miles later directed me to take a route that would first require me to drive up a steep embankment and crash through a barn before taking a road which was abandoned about 50 years ago and which you'd be lucky to get a motorcycle up. Needless to say I didn't follow its directions, leaving it to frantically keep telling me to make U-turns. :lol: Whenever I take a road trip I do use it but also take good maps with me as well.
