    Exclamation any of you run into this problem??

    Gps Poses Problems

    Apparently relying solely on your Gps is a big problem. It almost happened to me once, I was driving on a very foggy day and the map said the road kept going, I was almost going 50 mph when I realized they closed the road and put a airport in front of it. luckally there was road closed signs.

    Yeah, millions are spent putting up signs stating the obvious for dimwits that drive so fast on a day so foggy that they can't see a fu*king airport in front of them! ;-)

    I thought most of the GPS disclaimers said to only use it as a 'navigational aid', anyway?

    if your driving while staring at your gps screen, your problem isnt that the software maps arent up to the second accurate.... The system is meant to ASSIST you in getting where you need to go, not drive the car for you. This is the reason why we have to have disclaimers EVERYWHERE.....

    Except most of the people who know how to do that also know to WATCH THE ROAD while driving.
