I also deeply appreciated the readers who resented the idea of an electronic device telling them where to go.

My personal favorite is when our GPS shows us traveling off-road or even over water when we’re on a road it doesn’t know.
Or had a GPS tell us to get off the next exit, only to have us immediately get back on the highway. Most of us have experienced a GPS sending us to Timbuktu when you were just trying to get across town.

If you are unfamiliar with the 1981 Terry Gilliam film, it’s an intensely imaginative time travel and adventure story featuring an eleven year old boy, six thieving dwarves, and an ominous Supreme Being who chases the aforementioned gaggle through history to recover his stolen map.Īnyway, there are a series of scenes in Time Bandits which immediately sprung to mind while reading the responses to this week’s Question of the Week. Time Bandits is one of my all-time favorite movies. Don’t miss Janet Carter’s window-tossed GPS, and Tracy Schuster’s cartoon. Here are the best maps, GPS devices, and smartphone apps.
