My GPS every so often will go crazy. I dont know what is wrong but I figured out if I reboot my phone it will fix it. Also a GPS is a guide and not a replacement for common sense. I have a Thomas Guide in my car at all times now even though I dont use it very often

As I read the thread title I thought "Hmm.. I wonder if this is part of the planned inaccuracy of civilian level GPS that I've heard about... I wonder if that's true..." then I clicked and read:

Doesn't surprise me at all. Japanese people are the biggest sheep in the world. I'm sure at least 5 out of 10 people would drive into the water if the machine told them to.
