"The Knowledge solves the London Dilemma, i.e. where things are and
how to get there."
(Howard Hughes, Newreader smoothFM 102.2FM)

"People often prefer verbal directions rather than trying to match their
understanding of the layout of things to the coventions of maps."
(Dr Ed Cornell, Professor of Psychology, University of Alberta)

"Becoming lost is often accompanied by high emotional arousal which tends to interfere with mental functioning, specifically the application of mental thought processes towards solving the problem of getting oriented."
(Kenneth A. Hill, "The Psychology of Lost" 1999)

"One should not accept the advertisement hype that you 'will never get lost again!' People will always get lost, and in some ways. they will get lost worse because of new technologies. Satellite systems fail sometimes, they can be distorted or blocked by local obstructions. Electronic machines lose power or just plain break. Possessing the technology is going to lead to a false sense of security, which in turn will lead to an unprecedented lack of preparation and of practice in traditional navigation... Even given accurately functioning technology, people will still be able to lose their way... As long as people have to decide where to go and how to get there, navigation will remain one of the fundamental behavioural problems for human cognition."
(Professor Daniel Montello, University of California)

"When we've all got Satellite navigation, we'll all be going the same way!"
