The rules of men for women

handheld / carheld GPS is such hopelessly inaccurate technology... No positional precision to speak of...

lol... as I am sure many of us have heard, myself included...

morons driving into lakes and off the end of the city pier and such...

(hint: drive carefully, especially in unfamiliar surroundings...)


though apparently it's quite good in Perth, and perhaps Beijing?


plus, compared to working off an upside-down map, I'll go with GPS.

That is more related to general stupidity and outdated maps than precision.

It is rare for a handheld GPS to have a reliable precision below 10m or so. Last GPS we worked with (last weekish) can, if held correctly, give realtime position on the millimeter. That is a precise GPS.

I am sure that the US military is quite interested in such product.


I don't see a need for an average person to have a GPS closer than... 3 meters?


10m is still quite good... as long as you are not launching artillery shells at such target.

The US military probably has more than a few of those GPS sets... Very practical for things like surveying...

SatNavs, or as they are know locally, To-Stupid-To-Read-A-Map-Nav

Round my way these things are constantly directly lorries down narrow residential streets where they get stuck and block the roads. The things are a bloody menace.

[Zeratul]

that is because they aren't programmed properly... They are an annoyance in Norway as well... Not unusual for southeast European drivers to be directed onto the "shorter" route across a narrow mountain pass roads with a trailer, where the road is barely suitable for small private vehicles...
They are unfortunately often programmed only with physically shortest route, not whatever route is most efficient.
