GPS navigation is a useful assistive technology if you realize it’s usually gonna be wrong at least once from any given point A to point B.
They’re also nearly 100% wrong for choosing optimal routes when one has a good knowledge of local driving conditions.
I study and print out backup paper maps when I aim for unknown destinations, and between the GPS and the backup maps I usually do pretty well.
I recently was in Vermont for a wedding. Used Waze to get there but had no internet access on the way back. Could remember the roads well enough to hit an east west road. Looked at the sun and made my way back to the interstate.
Sometimes it takes a week to update maps for changes. I’ve written a history of GPS, which my Dad invented. It’s important to use common sense when using GPS. My book website is www.gpsdeclassified.com
