again, the_GPS_is_kind_of_“garbage_in_garbage_out”.
Mr Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse
has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment.
Barry Brown:“One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen and they
just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it
is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it's going to the wrong
place.”
Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego.
While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The
two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people's cars. They
wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving
with GPS.”
Barry Brown: “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you're doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. There are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.”
Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational (导航) skills.
