GPS and SatNav
A friend of my other half lives 400yds from her local Tesco. you can see it from their driveway. But everytime she goes she sets the SatNav. The same for the return.
When asked why she did this when you can see the place from home, the reply was, 'There might be a traffic jam and I can take an alternative route if this tells me to'.
Doh! Facepalm and everything else.
Not that far from where I live there is a dirt road. At the start of it there is a 6ft high notice saying,
SATNAV Drivers STOP. Go back. This road does not go to *******.
almost on a daily basis, an HGV (usually from foreign parts) gets stuck half way down. The local Truck breakdown service charges 200GBP to get them out but still they come.
What is the use case for this bit of tech again?
I'm sure it might have some use (I use paper maps) but for most of us, it is IMHO nothing more than a distraction.
