GPSy is a not a professional navigational aid and should not be used as a primary means of navigation or in any situations where damage to life or property is possible. Please be very careful in using this product since IN NO EVENT SHALL SOFTWARE AUTHOR BE LIABLE TO USER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE AND LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF LIFE OR PROPERTY, EVEN IF AUTHOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. The maximum liability accepted will be the refund of the purchase price of this software. Your use of GPSy, GPSy Pro, GPSyLink, or Demo GPSy signifies your agreement with these conditions. If you do not agree to these conditions or if these limitations to liability are illegal in your jurisdiction, you must not use the software and must return it for a full refund.
In other words, use common sense: don’t use GPSy for mission , life-critical, or plain stupid purposes (e.g., flying at night with only a GPS unit and GPSy to guide you; delivering pizzas in a bad neighborhood; driving while looking at a laptop; using it for VFR flights; walking into trees; etc.) unless you are willing to acknowledge that it may produce miscalculations with unforeseen or grave results or may cause you to navigate in a potentially dangerous fashion. Common sense dictates that you should have sole responsibility for your own actions, so please please be responsible.
Good navigators never rely on only one source of navigational information and always look where they are going (don’t crash that car into a tree looking at your laptop!). The author has seen handheld GPS units give erroneous positional information that was more than 200 miles off course. Please be very careful and please don’t sue me (aside from the fact that I’m a starving graduate student and at best you’ll repossess my beat-up ‘79 motorcycle). I hate disclaimers, don’t you? It’s sad that we need them.
