I guess this is a gripe/observation.
I know some people have a better sense of direction than others. When mapquest came out, I loved it. I could print the maps to get me exactly where I want to go. Google and others jumped on board and the more the merrier.
Then came GPS systems. I never had one, never wanted one. My 51 year old GPS system has worked well all these years.
So I have a teen daughter and I get her one to ease my fears. I also get my wife one because she really does get lost.
We took a trip to Galveston last week. I decided to do the GPS thing and let it navigate. What a frustrating hunk of junk. I have been going to Galveston for 25 years and I have never gone through some of the roads that thing has led me on. We turned it off to come back and had no problems.
Now my kid is trying to get home before the storms hit and the piece of junk has her lost out in the middle of nowhere.
I'm supposed to take a cross country trip next month. Was planning on using the GPS to help me out. Not so sure now.
I just cannot blindly follow the thing's directions. Am I too biased against it to let it work or does it frustrate others here?
