Not really a fail dum dums. That is how you calibrate a GPS’s internal compass.
This. From the look of that GPS screen though, this is an aftermarket POS installed in a ricer. That’s the real fail here.
To me it looks like it’s some US POS installed ito an US POS for a car…
Maybe it’s part of some great conspiracy to make us all POS.
Nah, the GPS just wants to turn cookies in the snow.
Do those cookies taste great? Just wonderin’
So the real fail is installing this in a ricer.
That’s what I was thinking too.
Thank you for not being the only one to notice this.
Err, worded that wrong. Thank you for showing me I’m not the only one to notice this*
yep, we have that in our car too. when you hit “calibrate” it gives you this message. Failblog fail
35Fahrenheit
A snowflake and the 35 foghorns, a modern fairy tale about driving in a circle.
It’s for calibration of the GPS compass on a new vehicle. It’s not quite as silly as it seems.
You so silly.
YOU so silly!!!
Not exactly a fail… This is standard for all nav systems when set to calibrate the internal compass.
Next you have to calibrate the thermometer. It tells you to “Please drive slowly into a volcano.”
Except a lot of people wouldn’t know that. So it seems absurd. Thus the fail. Besides, if you could put every fail into it’s proper context, we would have a lot less fails in the world. Stop reading so much into it and enjoy the fail, dammit!
-No, it just goes to show how much rubbish you think is “funny”. I agree with there’s nothing fail or funny about this; the true fail is the owner THINKING this is a fail because he has no clue about how the GPS works
Someone pressed the DONUTS button.
Haha
But it should say “Please drive as fast as possible in circles…”, shouldn’t it ?
This is either standard calibration or it’s being a wise guy because some genius entered their current location as destination.
Lol
Lol.
Are you stupid, this is called calibration. Rated this awful.
You stuPid.
not a fail
Another stupid entry. Learn about technology before you cry FAIL, f***tards
Compass calibration, not fail.
Shouldn’t people who make their living off the internet be tech savvy enough to know this, and not have this fail posted?
Is it just me or failblog entries are getting worse with time?
You’re not the only one.
I have this EXACT same interface in my 2001 Mitsubishi Montero for the compass and it’s stock. It’s not even related to any form of GPS. Not sure how this is a fail, it’s more like ignorance.
*braces self to prepare for imminent barrage of anti-sexist comments*
It was submitted by a chick… It’s no wonder she doesn’t know what “calibration” is.
You sexist bastard lol
Why exactly would you feel the need to point this out?
I think the GPS wants to learn to drive too…..
My driver ed teacher used to tell me that. He figured it was safer than out on 9N.
1) To calibrate the compass, drive slowly in circles.
2) To calibrate attitude sensor #1, do a barrel roll.
3) To calibrate front bumper, please hit brick wall at 3.7 MPH
K
Donuts WIN
calibrating the mitsubishi, huh?
Not all satellite navigation systems include a compass. Some just work out which way you’re facing by tracking your car’s motion, which is something it has to do anyway.
This isn’t even a fail… and may not even be a GPS. You have to do this with many cars to calibrate the compass. Lame.
Fail?? Who doesn’t want tot do donuts in an empty parking lot when it’s cold and snowy out???? I think my GPS is slacking in it’s inability to occasionally remind me of the joys of reckless driving.
I LOL’d. That is all.
LOL – Comment win!
It’s not even a GPS. Just a compass on a Mitsubishi Galant.
I own a Mitsubishi Triton, and this is the internal compass screen it has, and yes this is how it’s calibrated periodically
With all the sanctimonious types sniffing “that’s how you’re supposed to calibrate a compass” I’m surprised that no one has pointed out that an electronic compass that requires calibration is slightly more fail than an old fashioned one that doesn’t.
Kinda weird..
@Phil: a classic non adjustable compass is not allways exactly how you think beacuse something named “magnetic declination”…you see ,the Earth’s magnetic field is not constant everywhere that’s way periodically the electronic compas from Mitsubishi L200 need that calibration…for accuracy!
@everyone who think this photo was fun : try to be in our times with yours general knowledges, being American is not an excuse!
