Struggling with technology (Hal)
As mentioned before we’ve battled with our gps here. (Hell, we battled with it in the us as well.) Anyway, it seems to work ok as long as you are happy to just follow it’s non-sensical directions. If you’re just doing a simple route via major routes it also works ok. Trying to have it take you to a via point a little out of the way on your main journey? Beware!
We’ve all heard the horror stories of people driving off cliffs in death valley or some such. We programmed in a minor town several kms away and let Hal do the navigating.
Here’s the end result of hal’s wonderful orienteering:
A dead end on a steep narrow road. It was quite a trick to turn around on. Guys further down the road clearing bamboo got a chuckle when we came back down the hill.
Short leash for Hal again.
