Experts say GPS is depriving people of sense of direction, and they will get lost without mobile phones

  

According to the Daily Mail, experts said that satellite navigation not only makes people more lazy, but also gradually deprives people of their sense of direction.

Experts warn that the sense of direction is "useless when it is used". People should make full use of this innate ability and avoid relying too much on the Global Positioning System (GPS).

Roger McKinley, consultant of satellite communication and navigation, believes that satellite navigation will not really deprive people of their navigation ability, but if you don't know where you are going and just rely on navigation broadcast, you will have no backup once it fails. On the contrary, studying maps in advance can not only improve the navigation ability, but also improve the ability to observe places.

In addition, Mr. McKinley also proposed that schools should offer navigation courses to teach students the ability to read maps. The experiment shows that it is obviously better to plan the route on the map in advance.
