THE WALRUS

GPS is undoubtedly a boon to the traveller, though there have been quite a few horror stories of people getting into diabolical situations through blindly following GPS. My misgiving about GPS for the traveller, however, relates more to its accuracy. Through getting lost at least once a day, I have blundered across many scenes - especially parts of cities - I would never have seen following a GPS-guided route. Not to mention some entertaining contacts with locals.
