> When you rely on something to make choices for you, you don't learn but you are never lost.

Following the GPS will not get you lost in the vast majority of situations, unless you then lose signal or your GPS encounters a technical problem. However if it does get you lost, you will be substantially more lost than if you had not relied on it.

N.B. I'm only objecting to the finality of the statement, I don't think you're going to get lost in most cases with a GPS.
