Crossing cemeteries, driving railroad tracks, driving into lakes, who here has not been navigated by a pit?

Good evening riders, since the popularity of smart phones, we have become much more convenient to travel, especially when going to places that you are not familiar with, just open the navigation software and enter the places you want to go to recommend routes for you. But navigation is not omnipotent, many netizens have had the experience of being navigated pits, today we will take an inventory of the events that were navigated in those years.

In a month, 5 cars drove downhill

Many netizens ridiculed the mountain city of Chongqing as a city that will get lost if you navigate, but I didn't expect this to be true. Previously, the media reported that five cars in a small area of Jiulongpo, Chongqing, drove downhill a month due to navigation errors. The driver said that the navigation told him to "turn right ahead, go downhill", but turned around and found that it was dozens of steps, and the car was stuck on it and could not move, which was very embarrassing.

Forbes once published a report saying that drivers waste nearly 29 hours a year due to poor or inaccurate GPS navigation. Some drivers blindly trust their navigation systems, resulting in dangerous situations driving into lakes or train tracks.

Previously, there were media reports that a Canadian woman driving a Toyota Yaris crashed into a lake in Tobermory, Ontario, Canada, and she did so because the navigation route was wrong. The Ontario Police said, "The weather conditions at the time showed it was raining, dark and foggy. Because of the weather conditions and the driver being a novice, she drove into the lake. "Fortunately, the female driver managed to escape before the vehicle was flooded.

The Washington Post reported an incident in which a female driver followed the navigation and drove the car onto the railroad tracks. The incident occurred at the corner of Grant Avenue and State Route 837 in Pennsylvania, and the driver said she was driving as navigated. When the navigation system told her she was about to turn, the driver turned, only to turn right on the tracks.

Trucks are more likely to be "misled" than private cars. On January 4, 2022, a video of a large truck hanging on a wall-hung road attracted attention. As can be seen from the video, the front of a white truck with Ningxia license plates protrudes from the protective fence of the hanging road, and nearly half of the body is suspended on a steep cliff, which is very thrilling. It is reported that the incident site is located in the section of the hanging wall road in Dongsitou Township, Pingshun County, and it took local rescue forces three days to rescue the truck.

Some media interviewed the truck driver involved, and the other party said that he followed the navigation, and the road was wide at first, but he couldn't get over when he reached the hanging wall road. Seeing this, he wanted to reverse the car, but because it was a downhill road here, and the top of the car behind him reached the rock wall, the reversing failed and slipped away, causing the front of the car to rush off the road.

Common mistakes in navigation

Some netizens have posted in Zhihu, summarizing several common errors in navigation, the first is easy to misreport the speed limit reminder, such as reporting a speed limit of 80km/h, but it is actually 60km/h; The second is that avoiding congestion does not work, and it is blocked wherever you go; The third is inaccurate/wrong location labeling, which wastes time; The fourth is that the real-time location is inaccurate, the person is obviously on this side of the road, and the navigation is positioned on the other side of the road; The fifth is that the route planning is wrong, some people drive and find that they have entered a narrow alley, some people drive and find that the road is broken, and so on; The sixth is the inability to judge the one-way street, resulting in the owner violating the rules and regulations in the wrong direction; The seventh is that there is obviously a short road, but the navigation plan is a longer route...

The total settlement of this netizen is more comprehensive, many people should have personal experience, especially to the suburbs or rural areas, navigation has a road does not give you guidance, the guide is only a car wide country road, at this time if you encounter an oncoming car, you can only compete with whose reverse technology is better. Riders who often ride motorcycles should also have experienced, the same starting point and end point, choosing a car and choosing a motorcycle, the route given by navigation can take twice or more to complete.

Netizen: One dares to guide, one dares to go

Back to the post at the beginning that followed the navigation and stepped on the heating pipe across the river, some netizens commented "When someone walked by, Gaode will recommend this road to you who ride a bicycle, when you carry the car over, Gaode began to think that this HVAC can pass the bicycle, so it is recommended to more people, more people carry the car through this HVAC, so Gaode feels that this road may be quite smooth, until one day someone drove a car was led here, cursing and cursing."

There are also netizens who commented that "one dares to guide, the other dares to go, are ruthless characters". Some netizens shared their experience of going to Nanjing, found a restaurant on a review, and the navigation let him pass through the municipal government compound... Another netizen was too pedestrian to navigate, turned his direction into a 45° hillside, and rushed all the way down. There are also netizens who shared the experience of passers-by being guided into their yards, the experience of turning over the wall of the community, the experience of drilling a "dog hole", the experience of jumping off a bridge to go to the toilet, etc., which is really helpless and funny.

Write at the end

Any technological progress is not achieved overnight, navigation occasionally wrong is not incomprehensible, all car friends must pay attention to observe the road conditions when driving, plan the route in advance, do not fully trust the navigation, so as not to encounter the above embarrassing situation. Have you been pitted by navigation in front of the screen?
