Hey! Well, the satnav had certainly the best intensions. Still – she was only taken through the back roads. My satnav was telling me to make a U- turn – Now! – which would be ok if I wasn’t on a motorway with no exit in sight. And, no, the map wasn’t that old!

That place is a common KNOWN fact for the GPS hickup.
Guess she must be using a TomTom.

I’ve heard of some people missing the right speedway exit so the GPS said they had to drive back to the opposite direction…. so they did, on the speedway!

My god, people are stupid. There are folks out there who actually think that the satalite can read the road signs and that it’s always making the best choices.

Why just last night I was using my Nav system in Baltimore City and it told me to make a left…onto a road that was closed for construction.

How did I deal with this dilemma? Why I kept driving and waited for the Nav system to give me a better option!

Crazy use of independent thought I know…

With the current FX rates, that Mercedes is almost $200,000. You’d think that anybody in their late 20s who could afford such a thing would have more sense…

I don’t need a navigation system to drive into a creek. I do that on my own.

What? You don’t like Bentley’s?

The navigation system on my new Audi A8L often takes me to very wrong places, but with absolute German certainty.

My daughter’s new Honda, at about 25% of the Audi’s cost, is fool-proof.
