geocaching.smartlog.dkIn remote places like California's Death Valley, total dependence on GPS navigation systems can be a matter of life and death.
Every summer in Death Valley, around 250 thousand vacationists venture out into 120-degree heat to click photographs of gleaming salt flats, leaving behind their air conditioned cars They pour over from all over the world, but many are equipped with a traveling companion GPS attached to the dashboard of their cars.
But when plenty of deserted dirt roads lie between you and your destination, things can get askew even with a GPS.
A couple of years ago a mother and son on a camping trip had GPS in their car and got stuck on an abandoned mining road for five days. as a result of which the son died and mother barely survived. . Relying blindly on the GPS proved to be a fatal error for them.
Partially,the problem is that GPS companies might be relying on old maps with roads that have long been closed. So updating the maps is very important..
