The problem with GPS…

October 25th, 2007

It doesn’t always work as such.

Oh, it’ll tell you where you are alright and point you in a direction that’ll get you where you want to go but the problem is that in some areas of which ours is one, the roads that it sends you down are the windy ones and anyone using it to reach us from the south always adds an hour or two to their journey because of this.

The problem is that once you get dependent on a technology like that you tend not to have a fall-back ie maps in this case. So, we found that our Danish guests didn’t arrive at 7pm but were much closer to 9pm and had been following a very “interesting” route to get to us, despite them having been here before.
