    Let's face it.

    He was used to his wife telling him where to turn.

    He buys a GPS and a female voice told him to turn.

    He ONLY did what he was told.

    I bet when asking about a load that never got delivered, that drivers dispatcher also heard "I swear man, you know, that driveway had a sign on it that said, well uh, do not enter.":biggrin_25521:

    A computer can't be wrong, it's the human at fault for inputting wrong information. That plain and simple. A computer sees a 1 and a 0 and does math accordingly.
