I remember when there was no such thing as GPS and you were really reliant upon your own sense of direction and some maps. Of course if you had no idea where you were then the map was next to useless.
Then came along the "wunderbar" GPS!!
"According to independent research presented today, personal navigation devices have another important benefit: a positive influence on traffic safety. Part of the research focused on data collected on 115,197 drivers of lease cars. Those without PNDs had a 12% higher rate of damage incidents, and damage costs were on average 5% higher."
So now insurance companies are going to reward you for having a GPS and a crappy sense of direction. But then again us guys shouldn't get lost anymore because we REFUSE to ask for directions. Now it will be the GPS's fault when we get to our destination only find it is the wrong destination.
