You know, just because a GPS says go this way doesn't mean you have to go that way. Especially driving a large bus. Or, in the words of the GPS manufacturer, "
Stoplights aren't in our databases, either, but you're still expected to stop for stoplights."
This little incident occurred in Seattle's own Washington Arboretum and, admittedly, you don't need a GPS to screw up that bad. (Anita and I once passed a large truck that had attempted the same trick in the same spot, but was clearly moving somewhat slower than the bus mentioned above.) The part that gets me is the way both the driver and his employers are attempting to blame the GPS for the damage.
