56、t to go. But they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leaving you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two. Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Sto
57、ckholm, Sweden. The center studies HumanComputer Interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices. We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPSequipped car to
58、 use during his stay. Barry Brown：“And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they had put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address i

But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown：“One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen and th

Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that its going to the wrong place. ”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While
61、there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in peoples cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS. Barry Brown：“One
62、of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what youre doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. There are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong. ”Barry
63、Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills. The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving With GPS lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to
64、understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given. Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together. 【解题导语】GPS导航在给司机提供详细导航服务的同时， 也会出现许多问题。 本文分析了造成这些问题的原因。5What is the best title for th
