126. GPS
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based positioning and navigation system that allows a compatible device to determine its location. In vehicles, GPS navigation can combine positioning information with digital maps to calculate routes and provide visual or spoken directions.
Drivers should preferably set their destination before starting the journey and avoid unnecessary interaction with the navigation system while driving. GPS directions are advisory and should never be followed when they conflict with traffic signs, road rules or actual road conditions.

What does GPS do in a vehicle?
A GPS navigation system determines the vehicle's position and uses digital map information to calculate routes and provide directions towards a destination.
Should you always follow GPS directions?
No. Traffic signs, signals, road closures and actual road conditions take priority over navigation instructions. A driver remains responsible for choosing a legal and safe route.
Should you program a GPS while driving?
It is safer to enter the destination and adjust the route before starting the journey. If significant changes are needed, stop in a safe and permitted place rather than becoming distracted while driving.
