Expert: long-term dependence on GPS, humanity will lose their sense of direction-GPS navigation-IT information

According to the United Kingdom, the daily mail reported on March 30, experts said that satellite navigation will not only make people more lazy, and are slowly deprived of human sense of direction, a sense of direction "non-use of waste", people should use this innate ability. Experts caution, should not rely too heavily on global positioning system (GPS).

Satellite communication and navigation consultants McKinley (Roger McKinlay), satellite navigation and not really depriving people of their ability to navigate, but if you don′t even know where you go, just on the navigation on the air, if it fails, you will not have any backup. In contrast, prior research on the map not only can improve the navigation capability, you can also enhance the ability of observation sites.

In addition, Mr McKinley also suggested that schools should offer a navigation course, teaching students the ability to read a map. Experiments show that the planned route on the map is clearly superior.

Reports on the failure of the satellite navigation is far from exhaustive. This year earlier when, United States a name visitors by satellite navigation misleading, in Iceland more driving has 364 km of away; from Wales of visitors wants to appreciate Death Valley National Park of beauty, is was navigation with to has dead end, only for this two a place shared a zip code; two a from Sweden of visitors to Italy of Capri island holiday, is due to in navigation Shi playing wrong names led they to has Italy another end of a seat industrial city, and between Zhijian has 645 km of gap.

Therefore, the experts once again, do not rely entirely on satellite navigation.

专家：长期依赖GPS，人类将失去方向感 - GPS,导航 - IT资讯

据英国《每日邮报》3月30日报道，专家表示，卫星导航不仅会让人们变得更加懒惰，而且正在慢慢剥夺人类的方向感，方向感“非用即废”，人们应该充分利用这种与生俱来的能力。专家提醒，切忌过分依赖全球定位系统(GPS)。

卫星通信和导航顾问麦金利(Roger McKinlay)认为，卫星导航不会真正的剥夺人的导航能力，但是如果你连自己去哪里都不知道，仅仅依靠导航播报，那么一旦它出现故障，你便无任何后援。相反，事先研究地图不仅可以提高导航能力，还可以提高观察地点的能力。

此外，麦金利先生还提出，学校应该开设导航课程，教授学生阅读地图的能力。实验表明，利用地图上规划路线显然更胜一筹。

报道指出，关于卫星导航失败的例子不胜枚举。今年早些时候，美国一名游客受卫星导航误导，在冰岛多行驶了364公里的路程；来自威尔士的游客想欣赏死亡谷国家公园的美景，却被导航带到了死胡同，只因这两个地方共享一个邮编；两个来自瑞典的游客去意大利的卡普里岛度假，却由于在导航时打错地名致使他们到了意大利另一端的一座工业城市，而两地之间有645公里的差距。

因此，专家再一次提醒，切忌完全依赖卫星导航。
