A woman was killed when she and her husband using Waze, the popular GPS mobile app, went to the wrong address. Instead of leading them to a popular tourist distination, they ended up in the wrong neighborhood where their vehicle was opened fired upon by local criminals.
This has sparked great concern over the use of GPS apps in Brazil as the South American country is set to host the next summer Olympics in 2016. Perhaps Waze and other apps can update their apps to allow uers to rate the safety and accessibility of maps and locations.
Including myself, we've relied to eavily on technology especially the GPS that we take for granted we will be led to the right location. For the most part, they do work as advertised.
