Ok, I’m not trying to side with google here, but from what I read it seems like he just went over a ledge that wasn’t marked, but also was enough of a problem it could be seen by multiple people.
How is it that the GPS is responsible for his death? Even in unfamiliar places I’m not glued to the GPS because there’s a certain level of awareness you need to have when driving.
It seems like it was during the day as well. My guess is he was looking down at his phone and not up at the road.
Get a windscreen mount for your cellphone so you can quickly switch between checking the GPS and the road.
Whenever I use directions, I look over the whole route first so I have a fair idea of what the turns are going to be etc before I even put the car in gear. Then you’re kind of expecting what to happen rather than being surprised when a turn comes up.
Not everyone can afford a windscreen mount, but you’re not wrong, it would be good to have your GPS on or near the windscreen.
You’re telling us that someone can afford a car and a phone, but not a $15-20 Amazon suction cup or cupholder mount?
