When Not to Listen to Your GPS

Get a Free Garmin nuvi 660 Portable GPS Navigator



Some interesting events around the world lead me to believe a GPS unit is not always best, and many people have no common sense!
An article on gadling.com found here gives some examples of people taking their GPS a little to literally.
The best is of these drivers taking a GPS "suggestion" was in Bedford Hills, NY where a driver took a turn right onto the tracks of the Metro-North railroad and got stuck.
An the 911 dispatched was unable to reach the approaching train and an accident ensued, luckily no one was hurt except the car and the train passengers were delayed several hours...
I just don't understand how someone could not pay attention to the extent that their car is crunched by a train because the of GPS directions.

Anyways, the Garmin Nuvi 660 portable GPS navigator is awesome.
It's very easy to set up and use. I also love that it has Points of Interest programmed in already so it can help you find just about anything you need.
It's the perfect travel assistant to help you control hands-free calling, traffic alerts, and the FM transmitter, all from the screen. Ofcourse sometimes using the GPS will tell you to take a route that doesn't work out so well... (that's where common sense kicks in)

You can get the Garmin nuvi 660 for free here. Definitely Worth It!
