GPS Game: Men Drive Off Cliff: Die, Treasure Hunt Turns Fatal...

Treasure Hunting is fun, however why would anyone take their eyes off the road to drive by the GPS Guidence Device. They are only as accurate as the signal they are recieving, so they may have been recieving a weak signal and it didn't show the cliff to them until it was to late??

I guess I am still having trouble with this one, Simply because the two Treasure Hunters would have had to have taken their Eyes off the road or What ever it was they were driving on, and held up the GPS Compass to see what or where they were via the GPS Device. Due to the Faults of the GPS Device the Cliff didn't reveil itself until it was to late.

I really feel for the Families of these two, becuase they probably never had an accident in their live when they drove tehri own vehicle. This might have been their first!!

I am so sorry for your loss!!
