I had a friend who was an EMT when common GPS was just getting popular:
ALL of them hated it.
It meant that suddenly all manner of idiots were emboldened to try to visit places they previously had felt were off-limits to them:
Many would call 9-11 and demand a CHOPPER, simply because they WERE TIRED.
He said GPS really, realllllly brought the idiots out of the woodwork.
GPS should have helped her based on her alleged experience.
15 mi. of trail is a long way to run though.
“He said GPS really, realllllly brought the idiots out of the woodwork.”
Same with driving. If you can’t navigate with a map, you probably shouldn’t be operating a 2-3 ton vehicle
Even EMS get their noses stuck in their gps rather than look out the windshield. Six of us were out in the middle of the residential street waiting for the EMS. He arrived, in plain view, at the corner 3 houses down. We waved and hollered. He turned the other direction....
