It sounds like your talking about you put an address in gps and it gives you an accurate number.

The article is talking about it's version of a gas gauge, where it says X miles remaining, and that is what's inflated.

Trying to lie on the gps would cause more complaints as people got stranded, the fraud was lying on the "gas gauge" where it would be hard for a customer to realize they had less juice than they were being told.
