Given the number of people worldwide who have died or been lost for
days
in bad road conditions due to relying on their GPS navigators for
directions or road condition information, perhaps the time has come to
urge our legislators to create safety standards for navigator
manufacturers. We have safety rules for transporta...tion and travel
for a
good reason -- those rules save lives. Why should traveling using
navigator software or hardware be such a gamble with the safety or
that
of our loved ones?
Contact your legislators and ask them to look into GPS navigator
safety -- before more people die lost on some lonely road.

Maybe it's time human beings used a modicum of common sense?

Maybe you folks wouldn't keep getting lost if you drived in the right side of the road, ie the left.

People have been getting lost of many years just using maps so do you
propose also having safety standards for maps?

Politicians love calling for action after a Sat Nav error and seem to
think that it can rectified immediately, forgetting that there are large
numbers of Sat Navs in use and most never have their maps updated.
