That’s as good as any of the various stories he told at the time.

Me and my two sisters flew from California to attend a cousins wedding in Philadelphia, and drove from the hotel in three separate cars each with our own immediate families. Older sister said she would guide us to the church, as she had a GPS in her rental car. So we drove for a long time while I honked the horn telling her it was taking too long to get there, but she kept insisting she was right because she had a GPS. Got to the destination, no church. Right street address, wrong town. Late to the wedding. Yeah, she's a democrat. Never trusted her instincts after that, and did my own navigating. I miss paper maps.

Lol! I know people like that ... No matter what your instincts tell you, you trust the GPS.

Having said that, I use GPS for all traveling anymore. It’s really accurate and you even get realtime traffic updates and the like. Still, there are occasional moments where it’s wrong and your.brain needs to take over :-).

Also, for the record, I do miss maps. Ever since I was a kid, I was fascinated with them for some reason ... Yes, I was odd :-).

I carry paper maps and use them along with GPS to map a journey.

I am always amazed at how incorrect the GPS can be.

Consistently. And I have owned 3 of them
