Using GPS When Driving
Justin: Okay, we’re ready. Let’s get on the road.
Fay: Wait! We don’t know where we’re going. We’re strangers in a strange land. Where’s our guide?
Justin: We don’t need a guide. See this? It’s GPS and it’ll help us navigate 1 to where we want to go.
Fay: I’m not sure it’s reliable. We’re in a pretty remote location.
Justin: Relax and let me explain how this works: GPS systems use satellites to locate your current location. Information is transmitted to this receiver, so it always knows exactly where we are. We input 2 the address of our destination and presto 3! It gives us onscreen or voice directions.
Fay: I know how a GPS system works. I’m worried that there aren’t reliable maps to where we want to go. I read that many printed maps of this region are outdated 4 and unreliable.
Justin: Don’t worry. This GPS is the state-of-the-art. I’m sure it’ll be accurate.
Fay: A fool with a tool is still a fool.
Justin: What did you say?
Fay: Nothing.
