This sh*t is why nobody in their right mind should rely on GPS to drive their own vehicles.
DANG!
Apple cult members and supporters of Goolag hardest hit.
There is no “glitch.” “Glitch” is the word used by incompetent people when humans have made a serious error in using a computer system, and they want to confuse the public and make it think that the computer made some mysterious nerdy mistake.
The old maps did not have the new highway. Anyone who uses GPS and who doesn’t realize that is far too stupid to be driving a car.
Live by technology die by technology.
Realtor came by here the other day and I gave explicit verbal directions about turning at specific boulders and natural land marks.
I live in the boonies.
She got lost and I told her,I said do not use your GPS.
Dum shit did and got lost.
This is why I keep paper maps and Delorme books in my car. Just in case I need them.
I consider them a survival tool.
Good grief...
Rand McNally is more reliable...
READ A MAP !!!
Hey, Dummie! How about looking at the road and road signs.
This was NOT a failure of the GPS system; it was a failure of Apple and Google maps to keep up with changing roadways.
“I got lost because the GPS told me to.” Idiots! This is why NK’s new EMP threat would almost be a blessing.
Once the Norks (or Russians, or Chinese) knock out our GPS System, very few people will even be able to get to work the next day.
“... drivers were being redirected all the way through Lake Mead National Park.”
Since when did a man-made lake qualify as a National Park? I must be behind the times.
I live in a subdivision that is split North and South. Four blocks of the North addresses were screwed up in the early GPS database. Getting calls from delivery people who were 15 miles out of the way was always amusing.
GPS is perfect. That’s what will direct autonomous vehicles to their destinations. /s
GPS shows my address to be about a mile East of where it actually is.
I emailed Garmnin around a year ago and told them of the error. It is not just Garmin btw, all GPS units give it wrong.
About 2 months later I got an answer that he would forward the info to some organization. I updated my GPS around a month ago.
They never did correct the error.
Good grief! With this level of stupidity becoming prevalent, no wonder our destroyers are colliding with bigger ships... :-(
Same thing happens with the technology developed for golfers. Expensive toys meant to determine yardages from tee to green. but the courses are not static. Groundskeepers remodel the holes, but the gizmos are never updated. Five years later, the GPS golf aids are still putting out old information that no longer applies and does not reflect the scorecard.
OMG!!!
We now NEED “driverless cars” because the arrogant technologists have conned the whole population into NOT knowing how to read maps.
We need to send all drivers that own a GPS system to “re-education camps” that have one course, and they have to be required to get an A - map reading 101.
Paper maps people. Paper maps. When the NDOT opened the section of I-580 between Reno and Carson City, the on board nav system kept showing us offroad 4 wheelin’ for a while once we got south of Mount Rose Hiway.
LOL I use a 2008 GPS system to take long trips just to watch my truck icon drive over a bay? in NC that has a news bridge and listen to susie what’s her name keep repeating “recalculating.” Thank goodness it’s not a long bridge and I am so excited to see my son that I just laugh cause I’m getting CLOSER!
BTW, I always get updated printed maps. I like to SEE where I am going and not just blindly listen to someone else. I’m a visual learner.
