Satellites and GPS, sentence 11

A sat nav uses GPS for its position and a stored map to find a route; the driver must still watch the road, because sat navs have sent lorries down tiny lanes.

Who acts: sat nav, driver, sat navs · What happens: use, store, find, watch, send · To what, where: GPS, route, road, lorries

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R7-rel-agree ×3. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
