Funny Friday: Ms. Garmin Again


Where the little blue triangle was at, I was parked, in my car, high and dry, overlooking the north Atlantic on one side, and a harbor on the other side.  Look at the elevation in the lower right hand corner.  Sometimes I think Ms. Garmin drinks when I am driving.

  2. Do you suppose Ms. Garmin is projecting sea level rise? We originally called ours Dora the Explorer. After the second trip, we renamed her Ditzy Dora.

  4. Some people rely on SatNav without question. No wonder many have ended up in very bad situations.

  8. It's not just Ms Garmin. When I was working as a park ranger at a national park near an old college buddy working as a reporter in WV, we collected horror stories from people lead astray by google maps. Just a word to the wise: if you're traveling in Appalachia - get a paper map. And not just because the signals can be unreliable.
