The GPS will NOT tell us what specific floating piece of driftwood to grab onto if we were to proceed into the river and started to drown. And those are very excellent points. In fact we ought to demand that that all future GPS navigations systems either come with those features or carry a disclaimer in bold lettering on a big yellow sticker on a prominent part of the unit that says: "Warning: This GPS unit is not equipped with the Q-Branch, Lifeguard, VehiCrane or Crocodile Dundee modules. USE WITH CAUTION!" I think a class action suit is in order... ROFL… *Ahem*

What's the GPS thing going to say if we take the creaky bridge route and plummet into the river? Is the GPS going to fight off the crocs from eating us? No I don't think it will. Is the GPS going to tell us what piece of wood plank to hold onto as the river current drags us down to our sure death??? Outrageous. I totally agree.
