    I wonder how many people are not dead by using GPS instead of fumbling with a folded map on the steering wheel while driving.

        @neiltyson In a Hagstrom Maps commissioned study, GPS killed 85% of participants within 86 years of use. Despite conflicts the data is good.

        @neiltyson yeah but now people stare at their gps instead of the road. Or they stick it in the middle of windshield blocking view.
