Of course it does.

The idea that a GPS should _ever_ be considered so vital is laughable. 
They're incredibly useful for getting you out of a tight jam when you make
a mistake, but if you're relying on it for primary navigation, you'll be in
more trouble than it ever gets you out of.  

I write mapping applications for a living, and we produce incredibly
accurate maps - but they all say "Not for navigation" when we publish them.
