I know that my own navigational skills have atrophied - I used to be able to glance at a map in an unknown area and that&#x27;d be all I&#x27;d need to get to X. I can&#x27;t do that anymore these days. I wouldn&#x27;t do the 250-mile excursion (I&#x27;m nowhere near that bad), but the bit that puzzles me is the stories of the people who drive into obstacles - GPS is a navigator, it doesn&#x27;t change the nature of driving itself. You wouldn&#x27;t drive through a red light because that&#x27;s where your GPS was directing you, so why would you drive into an obstacle?
