Google Maps made a boat hit me...

I'm not sure if you are saying that google maps had something to do with a boat hitting you? If so, then perhaps you better file a lawsuit like this lady!

Hah that was my intentions of this. A few weeks ago i was looking for the directions to Cedar Point and I looked at the walking directions and I laughed and made the right decision not to take that route.

When I heard about that lady today I died laughing.
 
I laughed pretty hard when I heard about the woman suing Google. They just need a disclaimer when you download an app that says "Not to be used by morons".

The only way that woman would have a legitimate lawsuit against Google is if she was hit by the Google Streetview Van.

there are disclaimers, when you use google maps for walking directions you get this:
"Walking directions are in beta.
Use caution
 
I was reading this story a while back about a family that ended up stranded in the snow because they followed their GPS on a route that was not plowed during the winter (I guess the rising snow didn't warn them).

However, the article is a great example of weak journalism. If you notice on the link, the picture including is in fact a Sirius radio unit, not a GPS unit. How lazy can people be?

For some reason, google nav will provide driving directions from Los Angeles to Hawaii. Even more odd - it tells you to drive to Seatlle first, before you drive across the ocean.

I believe it suggests you Kayak across the ocean. It will do the same for New York to London, or something along those lines. It's probably just a little practical joke they placed in the system.

I have seen this kayak suggestion, but I think they want you to use Kayak.com to book trans-oceanic transportation.

It's a conspiracy.
 
I was using Google Navigator yesterday and it never once mentioned stopping at red lights. How unsafe is that??

The magical Voice just said to turn and I did. And got blasted by a bus.

I'm going to sue too.

:rolleyes:
