For those too lazy to click, The Article:
GPS-Trusting Tourists Rescued From
That's why eventhough I (we) collected the data, I still don't trust
my own GPS. :)
Seriously though, the article provides very good insights on what we

An 81-year-old Australian man became lost on an early morning drive to the

Road, kept on bugging me even on Shaw. After Magallanes, it wanted me to
take Sucat road.
unit only corrected itself after passing Alabang and guided me to the
correct
