I've reported lots of benefits of GPS here but there are a few downside stores. Two reports of French motorists following the instructions of their onboard GPS and driving the wrong way down French highways can be read at the iafrica.com website. It is very easy to understand how flaws in driver judgement or in the voice guidance software could lead to such incidents.
Motorists go wrong way following GPS guidance.
