GPS Leads 3 Parties Astray in Oregon

Post by Flesh Thorn »

PORTLAND, Ore. — In a holiday hurry, Jeramie Griffin piled his family into the car and asked his new GPS for the quickest way from his home in the Willamette Valley across the Cascade Range.

It said he could shave 40 minutes off the time of the roundabout route he usually takes to the in-laws' place.

Following the directions, he and his wife headed east on Christmas Eve and into the mountains, turning off a state highway onto local roads and finally getting stuck in the snow.

Sounds even more the "Genetically Challenged". Choosing an unknown route, in inclement Wx, show one to play in shallow end of Gene Pool.
