Subject: RE: Tech: GPS quits when close so I never arrive From: leeneia Date: 14 Jan 18 - 10:16 PM I generally find our GPS helpful, but there are exceptions. 1) getting lost completely. One day we were headed for the central part of a town of about 5000 people. Instead the GPS got us into a trailer park out in the country. 2) In ancient European cities with tiny streets and many one-ways, it simply cannot cope. 3) I have friends who were going to visit cousins in a town with Shore in its name. The GPS tried to drive them into the ocean (where the shore is.) 4) It insists on a complete address. I was dismayed that it cannot take you to a small town of 300 people. NO, it demands to know exactly where in Cottonwood Falls you want to go. Nonetheless, when you're going somewhere you've never been before, it's a real comfort. |

I have learned to trust it in general, and to recognize when it is fucking up, and take the reins back. Joe's smarmy remark was unfair--it was just one loop where it confused two roads that were right next to each other. Anyway, we always got to the Getaway before dark! |
