Re: NEVER put your home address in your GPS!
Well put. Some of the comments on this thread seem to be from people far removed from normal life. For starters, most people clearly do use satnavs so idiot comments that say we shouldn't need to clearly are far removed from normal life. As are those that miss the point that it doesn't hurt to have a "home" location slightly removed from the actual one. Even if it's not proven, even if it's genuinely debatable whether it can help with security it might, and it serves no useful added purpose to use your precise address so why not.
There is a not uncommon them on El Reg that the commentard's lack of interest or need in some common every day activity or behaviour means they think that such activity is of no use or interest objectively to anyone.
I wonder how many of these are involved in designing UIs.
It would explain a lot.
