Shortly after our Startup Tour began this summer, Heath Ledger died. No, not Heath Ledger the actor, who died a couple years ago of an accidental drug overdose — Heath Ledger, my four year-old Garmin NUVI GPS who spoke with an Australian accent. My Heath had been going quietly insane for some time. This is his story.
It seemed like nothing serious at first — a forgotten route, a missed turn, some confusion about where home was. Heath was still Heath but maybe a step slower than in his youth. Then he started routing us gratuitously, sending us to places we didn’t want to go. After that came the endless loops, which with a driver like me sometimes aren’t noticed until the third lap. Heath, in advanced age, was experiencing dementia. It’s not supposed to work that way (this is digital of course — perfect) but it was.
Drive across America visiting little companies in little cities and your GPS becomes you best friend. Only this best friend had forgotten my name.
Time for a new Heath.
Bought on sale for $134 at Best Buy somewhere in Illinois, my new Heath is a NUVI 255 with a bigger screen, faster processor, and overall badder attitude than the Heath he replaced. After 10,000 miles and almost 200 hours of driving together, I know this new Heath very well. And I don’t always trust him.
It’s like playing a video game so many times to where you come to understand the flow of the game and how it functions on a level maybe even the programmers didn’t consciously know or intend. That’s how I understand this new Heath, my driving partner and sometime enemy. He doesn’t lose his mind like the Heath he replaced, but he doesn’t always like me, either.
Indulge me while I explain my understanding of Heath’s routing algorithm.
To my new Heath, faster means faster and shorter means shorter no matter how stupid the route turns out to be in human terms. So if you tell Heath you want the shortest route and there are many possible choices but one is 40 feet shorter than the others despite having 60 percent more turns and stops, Heath will save the 40 feet. Same for faster, even if faster requires cutting a corner by taking a one-lane dirt road in your 34-foot RV. The speed limit in his database says 65, after all, even if you can only go 30.
Heath has done both of these things to me.
One of the joys of GPS, of course, is its nonjudgemental nature. Heath rolls with the punches no matter how many bonehead turns I make. But even in his compensation for my mistakes he mocks me, pulling a fast one by, essentially, maintaining two sets of rules. His jabs are subtle.
You see Heath has two routing modes that I don’t know what they call in Kansas where Garmins come from, but I call the two modes smart ass and dumb ass.
Smart ass mode is invoked whenever I make a wrong turn. “Recalculating… As soon as possible turn around and go back,” says Heath. Or he’ll say, “Recalculating,,, As soon as possible make a U-turn.” In smart ass mode, you see, Heath questions my judgement, undermining me in front of my children.
But Heath never second-guesses himself, because if he isn’t recalculating Heath never looks back. He doesn’t even appear to know there is a road behind him. In this mode Heath is like an Italian Formula One driver who throws away his rearview mirror because what‘s behind him doesn’t matter. That’s dumb ass mode where Heath could backtrack half a mile saving half an hour but won’t ever do that. I first realized this in some small town when I got off the freeway for gas and — rather than put me right back on the highway a hundred yards from the pump — Heath guided me slowly through town before putting me back on the very same highway.
As the expression goes, familiarity breeds contempt. Ask Heath for a handful of distances, like how far it is to the nearest Mexican restaurant, and he’ll instantly spit out half a dozen places within a few miles. Not so fast: those distances are as the sombrero flies — un-routed. That 5.7 miles to Dos Perros in Durham, North Carolina could in fact be 10 miles or even 20. All you can know for sure is that it isn’t 5.7. Not even close.
GPS helps us eventually find places while, at the same time, putting us in our places. It’s a love-hate relationship, at least for me.
I have meet heath’s brother, smiling jack and he routes only on main roads, via interstate in rush hour
I have never used a GPS, I still buy those great big spiral bound maps, because they are great for laying our a route in your mind ahead of time, Then when you are at that gas station you get it out, take a look and get back on the interstate. I am not by nature a Luddite, I have my iPhone, and a Linux server at home. But I just can’t bring myself to trust a GPS. I was justified at my childs Fencing tournament when All the moms climbed into the Urban Assault Vehicles, and proceeded to drive out of the parking lot, and into a one way street, the wrong way. Another time coming back from the Zoo on a class trip, a number of folks couldn’t figure out how to go back the way we came, instead of retracing their route, the GPS sent them to the wrong side of town before bringing them back to the exit of the zoo to go back the way we, well came.
You are a braver man than I and I salute you!
I have a pretty good sense of direction and a memory of places I’ve visited. My wife on the other hand never left town without a AAA Triptik. On our first trip as a married couple she was astonished I could find my way from St. Louis to Chicago without the aid of a map. Follow I-55 North, how hard is that?
Owning a GPS is definitely a love vs hate relationship. We visit Charlotte regularly. My GPS has never been able to find the Charlotte airport. One time I pulled into the main entrance, stopped, and programmed my position. On my next trip it still couldn’t get me to the airport. Thank goodness there are clue’s, like planes flying overhead and signs on the highways.
When we leave Charlotte to drive home to St. Louis, my GPS comes up with a route where the first 100 miles are on 2-lane roads. What’s wrong with I-40, I wonder? It will fight me all the way to Statesville. Once I make the turn, it will finally give up and come up with the right route.
One would think that after I refused to get off the highway and turn around for the first 5 exits, maybe I wasn’t going to do so. You’d think the GPS would figure out who is actually driving the car.
Before we had GPS’s I used to study maps and develop an understanding of where I was going. Even with my GPS I find it prudent to study my route before getting into the car. Thanks to the Internet I can study different route options, then fly over my route with Google Earth. Oh how I love the map services and satellite images!
There is really no substitute for knowing where you are going.
Agreed – all hail the big Rand McNally! GPS units for road travel are still in their technological infancy, imho.
It’s “Artificial Intelligence”. Trust it like you would “Human Intelligence”, i.e. IQ<100. Here in SW Oregon a few years back, a TV producer returning to SF from Portland took his family up a heavily-posted USForestSvc road in a snowstorm, at night, because his GPS told him to. His family was rescued 4 days later. He tried to walk out, and died. Don't do that.
Yes, we hear stories all the time about adventurers who go hiking with the false sense of security provided by a $150 GPS locator beacon. They die.
Perhaps the worst thing about Garmin’s routing is that they assume you do exactly the speed limit on every road, and that no turn involves traffic lights or any form of wait.
They also never learn. Mine keeps trying to make me take some side street on the way home that I never do. And then tries to make me take another street that I always skip for the subsequent one because the first has very poor visibility for oncoming traffic.
Perhaps even worse than both of these is that they just don’t know about it. I’d be more than happy to plugin the GPS to the computer so that it can upload information back to them that they can use to improve navigation (providing I don’t have to buy a new unit!). On my newest unit they do allow you to delete points of interest (eg a store that closed down) but again provide no way to provide that feedback to them.
Garmin also never backport features and functionality – generally to get an improvement you have to buy a new unit. Of course every time they do this, it makes the user consider whether the alternatives may be better.
There’s an old adage that the map is not the territory. Too bad heath doesn’t know that.
I always found it funny to drive along a brand new road that my GPS thought was a cow pasture. What good is an out-of-date map? I believe the next big leap in GPS is a system that allows people to input corrections and updates to their GPS, upload it to the master database, then download the current updates. For example, press a button to start acquiring new road data, and press it again to stop. Of course, there would have be rules to confirm the data. This would be worth millions in my opinion.
That feature has been present in TomTom systems for several years. You can can say if you want all updates, reasonably likely to be good ones, or just verified ones. I don’t know if it resulted in millions more revenue as their base maps (from Tele Atlas in the US) were a little poorer than those from Navteq. (The roles were allegedly the other way around in Europe.)
There was also the Dash which was connected and hence could update traffic in real time as well as deal with maps. They failed in the end as it required a monthly subscription and many people really don’t want to pay for that.
Used a GPS in a rental car once back in 1999. Have not used one since. Worst thing that ever happened to me while using real maps was directing the whole family through Watts in 1962 (when I was 12), just before the race riots. Our BC license plate seems to have saved us that time.
Since then I’ve seen a compatriot (driving in front of me) go up one exit ramp and immediately down the on-ramp to the same freeway, and numerous other stupid GPS things.
Sorry, not interested until their sexy voice is matched by something I can watch (and lust after?) while making the wrong turn. Otherwise I’ll stick to my own mistakes thanks 🙂
I have only found GPS good for one thing – telling me when to turn off to that side road off of the four lane road that I’ve never been on. Before GPS, I would know I was coming up on a road I needed to turn off on, but having never been there, and the road not being at a lighted intersection, wasn’t sure if it was “now” or “in about a mile or so”. Invariably, I would pass it, because, I’m going 45mph, and the road sign I’m looking for is too small. So, I think GPS is awesome for that, because it lets me know to “in half-a-mile, turn right”… “in 200 feet, turn right”…. “prepare-to-turn”, and then a “bing-bing” sound to turn.
Beyond that, I wouldn’t trust a GPS unit as far as I could throw it.
If you want a little catharsis, get a route from Heath and then spend a little while driving in circles in a parking lot – you’ll force him to keep “recalculating” to your heart’s content. Then ditch him and use your iPhone to silently keep you on course….
GPS units are only as good as the data input – Garbage In, Garbage Out, as you well know.
When my brother got me my first GPS for Christmas a few years ago (a Garmin StreetPilot C550), he explained to me that you have to do the driving – the GPS can’t. You have to keep your driving sense and let the GPS adjust to you.
Did you know that you can plan your route using Google Maps and “send to” your GPS unit? It works better with the Nuvi’s than with my StreetPilot, which can only save the destination, not the planned route.
Extra Points for the “Gumball Rally” reference. The first rule of Italian Race Car Driving is, What’s behind me is not important!’. Indeed. A rule I’ve lived by.
Gumball.
There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points. Keep working ,great job!
Hello I live in Springfield, Massachusetts. I will be retiring in the near future and have been surfing the internet to discover a place I like. Is it feasible that the housing market get higher anytime soon? Sorry for being off topic
Maggie Magellan had a knack, on our trip through the South West this past April, for always assuming that the fastest way to anywhere in Las Vegas had to be on The Strip. Even if where we were going had nothing to do with the hotels actually on it, it would always try to guide us to it first rather than realize (as anybody who drives there does) that the roads 1 and 2 blocks off of Las Vegas Blvd are much less attended and more easily traversed, especially at night.
Grab yourself an Android phone and try the free Google navigation app – it really is very, very good. Its only downside is the need for a data connection.
Alternatively, I’ve used a TomTom fairly extensively, and it definitely seems to have more common sense than Heath. Why not get both, compare & contrast whilst driving, then sell the worst one upon your return?
(Or get has many as possible – crowdsourced routing!)
I’m venturing into the back woods of WV next month. We’ll travel with my new smart phone (haven’t selected one yet), my daughter’s new iPhone, and our GPS. We probably won’t have much cell phone connectivity. I’m not sure our GPS will even know about the roads we’ll be traveling.
Backup plan — good maps, compass, and a sextant.
Adventures in travel.
Wanna know how I got this scar?
I would consider a GPS as in the same category as weather forecasters. Accurate enough to be useful but NOT accurate enough to depend on! (sorry, don’t know who the original author of that was or I’d give credit.)
I have only used GPS in rental cars. My experience is that you either have to let the GPS be in charge or don’t use it. If you try to second guess the GPS, things will get frustrating. I would not use the GPS if I already knew the aproximate route I wanted to take.
As for tales of GPS giving less than optimal directions, they’re true. But I can also give you tales of humans giving less than optimal directions.
A cafe along one of the many mountain passes near where I live (North Central Washington state) has a handwritten sign near the door BEGGING people “DO NOT TRUST YOUR GPS.” Every little logging road built in the 1930s and since abandoned are in the master GPS database, and many of them look like a shortcut compared to the highway.
I guess I’m a bit luckier with my GPS. I can even teach it routes. I just can’t connect it to the Internet anymore. I have the Dash Express GPS which sold out to RIM who stopped making them & after about one year they killed the Internet on them. That meant no more knowing what the current traffic was like so I could only get historical data. It also meant that to remove the saved searches that required Internet gone I have to do a factory reset so that I could search for those terms again.
The thing I miss the most about having Internet on that GPS is that I could send destinations to the device from a website.
A friend of a friend once pitched the idea of selling celebrity voices and personalities that could be downloaded into your GPS. The main focus was on the entertainment value, but it occurs to me that a personality could have a practical use: it could help people see the GPS as fallible, not some omnicient oracle to be slavishly obeyed.
You aren’t the only one to have thought of that. Tom Tom will sell you a variety of celeb voices:
https://www.tomtom.com/page/voices
That’s why I use my M.A.P instead of my G.P.S.
Technology is great, but often times “newer” does not mean “better”.
Tom is right about the Google navigation app.
I had set a destination that took me westbound on Hwy 16. Mid-trip, I had to get off to gas up.
When she recalculated, Ms Google told me to get on 16 EASTBOUND. Feeling adventurous, I figured I’d humor her. Sure enough, she had me get off at the next exit, half a mile back, then left under the freeway, then up the westbound ramp on the other side.
Pretty clever, I’d say. The only time she’s steered me wrong was my own fault. Did you know that there are two adjoining zip codes in Tacoma that have exactly the same address???
I have a stereo I bought back in 1978, that still works fine. Have you noticed how electronics today have a significantly shorter life. Back in the 1940s’ engineers were having problems with tin whiskers with solder. There solution was to add a little lead to solder. Under the wisdom of a better environment, we have given up on putting lead in our electronics. Makes we wonder, since we now will send more stuff to the landfill. This is one of the reasons stuff doesn’t last very long. Why don’t I have a choice since it is not mandated in America?
“Have you noticed how electronics today have a significantly shorter life.”
Uhh, no I haven’t noticed this. Not in the slightest. Perhaps you can actually quote some real numbers rather than simply throwing out generalities?
My TV is, god, 15 years old — now fed with a box that converts VGA to NTSC.
I got rid of a ten year old computer a few months ago because I inherited a a much better replacement, but it was working same as always. I’m running a ton of drives (both hard drives and optical) that over ten years old.
Whatever the horrific effects of lead-free solder on device mortality may be, I haven’t seen them — and until you offer up real numbers, I don’t believe you have seen them either.

As for the subject of this article, I can only ask WTF Cringely? You knew from experience that the Garmin algorithm is designed by morons, yet you stuck with it. Did you even try any other brands? Did you ask the net for help in deciding which company has the best algorithms?
Next time you want to give us a lecture on your theories of economics and how the role of the state is to help the rich (see your next column) perhaps you might want to ask just how rational your behavior in this case was — and perhaps there are some lessons here for why pinheaded Econ 101 theories of human social relations are not the best foundation for creating a society.
Search for “lead free solder whiskers”.

Some GPS stupidities in addition to what others have already mentioned. I have a Garmin numi 760 with built-in MP3 player and Bluetooth.
1) You have to know exactly which city a particular address is in. For example, on the south side of Denver, there is the Denver Tech Center, Centennial, Englewood and well, Denver. Some streets run through all of them. The first thing the GPS wants to know when you’re entering an address is the name of the city. If you guess wrong, the GPS can’t find the address. It’s surprising how many people think they live in one town but are actually in another. Or perhaps more accurately, how screwed up the GPS database is. But really, doesn’t the GPS know approximately where it is? Can’t it just find the street address within a radius of, say 100 miles, without you having to know precisely which city it’s in? Can’t it just give you a freaking list of matching addresses and cities — ordered by proximity — and let you choose which one seems most likely to be correct? (I’m pretty sure the GPS in my girlfriend’s Lexus does this.)
2) “Jill” is almost always a little too late telling me to make a turn, and I almost always (99+% of the time, anyway) drive the speed limit — especially when I’m anticipating a turn. It’s amazing how many times she’ll say, “Turn right on Elm Street” and I look to my right just in time to see Elm Street go by. Yes, she did say “Prepare to turn right” a while back, oftentimes several blocks back, but geez, can’t she give me a little more warning when it comes time to actually make the turn?
3) Not really GPS, but related. My Garmin Nuvi 760 has a built-in MP3 player, which is great because I no longer have to take my iPod along. I copied all of my .mp3 and playlist files to a 16 GB SDHC card, which I then inserted into the GPS, thinking I was ready to go. Imagine my consternation when I started up the GPS and most of my playlists weren’t listed! Thinking I’d stumbled across a bug, I contacted Garmin tech support about it. They informed me that there is a limit of 100 playlists, a “feature” that is completely undocumented. I’ve always created playlists for every artist in my iTunes library to guarantee that all of their albums’ songs get played in the correct order. So, if you don’t have a playlist, you have to select an album to play from either the Artist or Album list. One of those (I forget which one) helpfully orders the songs in alphabetical order by song title, which completely messes up the listening experience on a huge number of albums. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Bob:
If you really went to Dos Perros on MANGUM STREET in Durham with your 34-ft RV, you DESERVE anything that happened to you…both for the food and the street pattern! (You must have been visiting the Dukies.)
Anyway other than at 5 PM on any weekday, a better choice would have been Hog Heaven BBQ on Guess Road one block (four lanes) off I-85 … and a nice Vietnamese restaurant right next door if anyone had trouble with “real Southern working class chow.”
:^)
I have one word for you: Android.
Get a phone with it and you’ll quickly forget about all those single-purpose GPS units you paid the same price for as the beautiful, multi-functional, device like an HTC Incredible, EVO, or Samsung Galaxy.
I use my Motorola Droid for GPS and love everything about the new Navigation program but the voice…sounds like a fast talking female robot on drugs. Wish they let you program voice parameters for it.
From Main Screen
-Menu
-Settings
-Voice Input & Settings
-Text To Speech Settings
-Listen to an example (Does it sound like what you’re hearing during navigation) It should. If it does.
Play with the settings below that. In particular speech rate. Should get it slowed down for you.
I use the GPS/Map of my phone. I never ask it for turn by turn. I like to see the map, a suggested route, and the glowing blip of where I am. That’s it. These devices don’t have the smarts and the data to be as acutely judgmental as we want.
I used my iPhone 3GS on a trip in FL. I drove from Orlando to Kenedy Space Center (Yes saw STS-127 liftoff) and from Orlando to Tampa Bay (Busch Gardens). I looked at the map on Google Maps first, verifying it had found where I wanted to go, next (before tom tom on iPhone) I used AT&T’s Navigator service. Between the printed maps and the navigator service, the GPS pretty much took me where I wanted to go without muss of fuss. But I measured twice and drove once 🙂
As the owner of three GPS systems I can say that they all have positives and negatives. My old Garmin is probably my favorite but it is nearing the end of its life. It no longer starts up each time I start the car, needing a gentle prod to get itself going, kind of like an old dog.
My newer Garmin is bigger, brighter and somewhat better at some things, but it takes us on routes that are best described as penny-wise and pound-foolish. I drive back and forth from Lake Tahoe back to San Jose several times a month and it selects different routes without any rhyme or reason. I would think it would send me the same way each time but no. So I ignore it and it gets really indignant when I take my preferred route unitl it finally gives up after about 10 attempts to make me listen to reason and go the rather misguided way it wants me to go.
My new Subaru has a build in GPS system. Works great but frankly the most non-intuitive thing I have ever has the misfortune of trying to use. My wife only rarely drives that car and has given up on trying to figure it out. She just bring along the old Garmin. It will be a sad day when the old dog no longer responds to the gentle prod to wake up.
Uh, this discussion is about navigation systems. I’m sure that the GPS component in these works just fine but the GPS simply tells you where you are. It’s the navigation system that tells you where to go so don’t blame the satellites. (Yes, I’ve heard people blame the information stored in the satellites for getting them lost, never realizing that they don’t have a clue.)
Short version –
1) Bought a Garmin Nuvi 2xx GPS
2) Drove from New York, to Florida
3) Had many similar episodes of GPS dementia in several cities on Florida’s east coast.
4) On the way back to NYC, in the middle of the night, we get off I95 in the middle of the Carolinas, for gas. Gas station (a few hundred yards from highway, and below the level of the highway), is the only apparent illumination in the world… Filled up the car, ready to go, where’s the highway? (It’s 1:30am) GPS says make a left turn, we do so. Damned Garmin takes us on a 6-mile loop, and at the end of the loop, we’re passing the same gas station on the way to the on-ramp, a short distance from said station.
5) Return safely to NYC, Sunday afternoon.
6) Monday morning – call Garmin tech support, and explain the dementia we experienced. Tech rep tells me he’s had the same type of experience, and that the product “is a recreational device”! Said this at least a half-dozen times throughout our conversation. Couldn’t do a thing to help me.
7) Monday afternoon – take lunatic GPS back to PC Richard & Son. Explain to kind salesperson, who then explains to his manager. Leave store with a TomTom unit that had a bigger screen, and better features, AND I got some money back too! The TomTom never took me for a ride like that Garmin did.
PS – my 2009 Honda Fit Sport, has a built-in GPS (Alpine), and while not having as good an interface as the TomTom, or Garmin, has never taken us on a “road trip”…
My only comfort is that when folks starting wringing their hands over the impending technological “singularity”, I just have to let my Garmin try to get me through the center of town and have no fear at all.
I just wanted to say that I found your site via Bing and I am glad I did. Keep up the good work and I will make sure to bookmark you for when I have more free time away from the books. Thanks again!
WOW your page came up first in Google. And this is what I was looking for.
Chemical scientists design processes to ensure the very most economical work. This means that the entire producing chain should be planned and controlled for costs. A chemical guy can both simplify and complicate showcase effects for an economic benefit. Using a higher pressure or temperature makes several reactions simpler; ammonia, for example, is easily produced from the component elements in a high-pressure reactor. On the other hand, reactions with a low yield can be recycled continuously, which would be hard, hard work if done by hand in the laboratory. It isn’t unusual to build six step or even twelve-step evaporators to reuse the vaporization energy for an economic advantage. In contrast, lab chemists evaporate things in just one step.

Thanks for ones great antivirus firewall software post and beneficial blog I was extremely blown away seriously!
nice post! I really like the style of your blog.
Howdy right now there, I can?t entry the site properly within Opera, I really hope you are going to repair this!
If GM would get their act together with Onstar then most of the retail GPS market would disappear. In the comments it has been noted multiple times that there is no way of providing feedback. If the GPS unit was linked through Onstar as a part of a large peer to peer (think torrent) type network, route information to include map data could be updated on the fly by sharing data between all the drivers with data on the same route segment.
Haha Bob…what you don’t know is that Heath is really Skynet becoming self aware.
This article was totally useless. You ought to cover this subject in far more detail.
Wow! I am very surprised by the high number of negative experiences.
Having bought a “TomTom” satellite navigation three years ago, my experience with it has been completely positive; the navigation algorithm seems to offer sensible route options, drivers can input road updates that other users can benefit from, navigation instructions are clear and well timed and so on.
It truly stands out as a particularly well developed “mature” advanced appliance that “just works” (very well).
Simon.
Agreed – all hail the big Rand McNally! GPS units for road travel are still in their technological infancy, imho.
Thanks very good o/
When I stumble upon a good article I go ahead and do a few things:1.Show it to the relevant contacts.2.keep it in all of the best bookmarking websites.3.Make sure to return to the website where I read the article.After reading this article I am seriously thinking of going ahead and doing all three.
Thanks very good o/
Hi , thanks for the posting. Nice. There are many ways to get rid of hair issues, but first know that bad hair is usually the result of unclean hair and scalp, it is also due to the use of excessive hair product, which usually grab on to your hair making it heavy and dry. Chemical hair products also clog hair pores killing the health of your hair
Good posting, thanks a lot!
A round of applause for your article post.Really thank you! Will read on…
hi .. nice posting ..
Some good info here. I am still looking for supplemental info on natural health and would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks a lot!
Read this comment carefully – it’s not on topic it’s just a little something to give you a smile and say thanks for your hard work on this blog!
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept. 🙂
I had a similar troubles in a hire car in England, the built-in GPS in the Land Rover I hired always directed me to the shortest route even though the settings had the prefer highways and freeways boxes ticked. Advantage, I saw a lot more small towns and villages which were very quaint, Disadvantage, posted speeds of 40mph but I never got over 20mph adding a good couple of hours on a trip from the London to Newcastle.
Ended up only using the GPS for inner city driving and used Google Maps on my IPAD to figure out which major roads I needed to take.
great thanks man…
Hey. Great post… not sure what all the trolls are doing here though.

tibia leveling,
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
