    "# Why We Should Not Trust GPS Completely",
    "If you've ever wondered whether you should not trust GPS completely, look no further than the tragic news story about an elderly couple stranded in Nevada\u2019s high desert because their GPS routed their RV through backroads.",
    "Ronnie and Beverly Barker, 72 and 69 respectively, residents of Indiana, were traveling in their Class C RV, towing a Kia, from Oregon to Arizona when the couple\u2019s GPS guided them to a road that ultimately led them up a mountain west of Silver Peak, Nevada.",
    "It turns out the \u201cavoid highway\u201d setting on the GPS may have been selected, which is why the GPS pointed them to a county road."
