GPS Stupid is when people place too much reliance on their GPS (Global Positioning System) and do not rely on common sense when driving.
To give you more of an idea let me tell you about an intersection with a train crossing in my home. In the past year there have been three incidents where a train hit a car because they got stuck on the tracks. In two of the incidents the drivers admitted that they turned onto the tracks because their GPS told them too.
The intersection is located in Bedford, NY on Green Ln just before the entrance to the Saw Mill River Parkway:

Incident #1: 1/3/08 GPS mishap caused Bedford Hills train-car crash - NY Journal News
Incident #2 - 9/30/08: Car GPS blamed for train accident ABC News
Incident #3 - 1/9/08: Driver whose car was hit by Bedford train: Signals were late (appears non GPS related but same intersection)

I want to give a shout out to emtbravo for being fast to the scene. EMTbravo provides fire and police incident reports in Westchester and NYC's other Northern suburbs.
I just heard a siren hear in Mount Kisco and again we have a fire:
There was a fire not far from here in Bedford on my birthday that completely gutted a house not far from here:
EMTbravo had the incident report almost immediately after I heard the fire alarms which was pretty impressive. So if your looking for westchester county fire incident reports check out emtbravo. They are an excellent resource when your wondering why the hell you heard all those sirens or why a house in your neighborhood you saw up yesterday is burned down today.
