[Mgs] GPS/Nav in a MG - blind and deaf

[Murray Arundell]

In this case your friend's GPS is configured to avoid freeways etc.  in
"settings" you can alter this to suit your preferences.  Technology will only
work as well as its allowed to by the individual employing it.  Don't blame
the technology if you are not prepared to learn it first.  In the case you've
cited it's the same as driving a car with a six speed gearbox but only using
four, then complaining that it doesn't go or uses too much .

the same time in the morning but he arrived at the dealership more than half
an hour later than I did.  Turned out that he'd followed his GPS's advice
which routed him away from the freeways and through city streets as soon as he
got to San Antonio. The thing is, he knew the direct route but followed the
GPS's advice because he "thought it might know a shortcut."  Go figure......

>> Prat-Nav you mean?  Where you end up in the wrong town/county/country or a
river "because the sat nav said so"?  The only time I used one, because my son
in law happened to have one, it took me on a 40 mile detour south when I
wanted to go north. When we did eventually start going north the motorway was
closed because of an accident.  We managed to leave at a junction but the damn
thing kept telling us to get back on the motorway.  At that point I ignored
it.
