It says "the unidentifyed driver's trucking company"

And this, boys and girls, is why you don't blindly follow your GPS. Use common sense, look at the turns, read signs, and make judgement calls and this won't happen.

I can't tell you how many times I've had my GPS tell me to make a turn that was a bad idea. Guess what, I didn't make the turn and things worked out fine!

Solely the result of a failed training program. Not to mention a lack of common sense.

Just curious how you connected that to the training program? If that was in the article I must have missed it.

I guess it could be a couple of things. Either the trainer didn't teach how to properly plan a trip and utilize all available means to verify the route while emphasizing the reason to not rely on gps. Or, the driver chose to ignore everything they were taught and managed to drive over 2 miles on a single lane wood plank structure surrounded by benches before realizing maybe just maybe there was a problem.

Article stated he took a wrong turn, that doesn't mean GPS lead him wrong.

I stopped using a gps and I won't go back. I'm forced to trip plan so much better and pay attention to the signs on the road instead of a device in the cab. Granted, I wouldn't have followed a gps instruction to turn onto a boardwalk anyway, but it's so much better to plan your entire route in advance rather than just hope your gps doesn't get you in a bind.
