In the past I've raged against the GPS navigation system for its imperfections and the fact that it can make people ignorant of being able to read maps or develop a sense of direction.
I don't see the need for a fucking GPS to go downtown. But people swaer by it. Some even ludicrously pay thousands of dollars to have one embedded in their car.
The other issue have with GPS is the distraction factor. Aside for not being able to listen to the radio on short journeys since it's always giving direction, you literally have to look at the monitor or come to a full stop to know what it's saying.
Can anyone explain to me how they manage and whether or not this thing leads to accidents? If text mesaging and hand held phones are banned, what's to stop legislators from outlawing GPS for being a "distraction?"
