&gt;&gt;  the CNET reporter who died because GPS lead him and his family onto a small mountain road that shouldn&#x27;t have been opened in the first place.<p>I feel for James Kim, but why is that a reason for the road not to have been open? I make a hobby of exploring back roads. I sometimes use a GPS, but almost always for locating myself and getting a view of my surroundings, rarely for directions. I don&#x27;t like to see bad things happen to people, but I&#x27;m sincerely puzzled when the reaction is to try and prevent them happening through prohibitions. When there are no roads left to close people will still get themselves into trouble by not observing enough, not thinking enough, or putting their faith in untrustworthy sources.
