The problem with GPS is that it works too well while it works. Because
it's quick and easy to program and follow, less care often goes into
checking and planning the route, and often less care gets taken in
double-checking that the real world conforms to what the GPS says.


That is not he fault of the GPS.


No, but it's a human mistake. It's a training issue to make sure that
when the GPS bings off a waypoint, you check a few landmarks to make
sure you're where the gadget says you should be. Currently, that doesn't
reliably happen because people have too much faith in the GPS.


Jesus, you think they can see the ground?
