A DARWIN GPS?
GPS/Satnav Devices are supposed to take the pressure off your driving to places you may be unfamiliar with by acting as a virtual copilot so you never get lost...in Theory,that is..
What I'm Calling a "DARWIN" GPS (Disclaimer-No similarity to any actual GPS manufacturer intended,or should be inferred!) Is one that takes you someplace you didn't mean to go and apparently tries to kill you (Look up Darwin Awards if you've never visited the site!) by directing you to go the wrong way down a one way street,taking you along farm tracks suitable only for tractors or 4 wheel drive vehicles,that sort of thing..Ever done anything like this? Do You blame the machine or common sense?
Thanks for responses!
