+ They often tell you to make "impossible" decisions, e.g. drive into roads that don't exist, drive off bridges etc.
+ They sometimes 'change their mind' during a trip and can get you driving round and round in circles cos they can't make up their damn mind as to which is the best way to go

GPS navigators have often gotten me lost! Also, if you enter an area where there's no reception, then it can stuff your navigator up too. My colleague's daughter only ever uses a navigator and refuses to learn how to read a map, but one time she drove into a long tunnel and her navigator lost reception, and she had no idea which exit to take - in the end she got lost.

I hardly ever use GPS navigators -- much prefer just using a street directory.

I have to 100% agree with Gok here.

Personally I think the use of GPS systems can be distracting and can make drivers a bit lazy. Drivers should learn to use their sense of direction rather than being told where to go from a satellite a few of kilometres above in orbit!
