Hans Across The Interwebs

The other day I was almost late for an appointment because I was reinstalling TomTom. I wouldn’t leave without it for fear of getting stuck somewhere.

This is not something recent though. Before TomTom, I’d print out instructions from somewhere, and just leave one hour early so I’d have time to get lost, find my way again and arrive at my destination usually in the nick of time.

Welsh village under attack by GPS-blind drivers: “We tend to shed a tear or two for humanity each time one of these stories crosses our radar, and unfortunately, this one had us bawling. Apparently, residents in Llangadog have been frustrated time and time again as drivers of large trucks came rumbling through blindly following directions spat out by navigation systems.”
