The paper map may also show that road … and not show that it’s a dirt road.
Four wheel drive and high ground clearance are a real advantage out there!
My wife and daughter are in the middle of a 700 mile drive today. My daughter posted a picture of my wife driving and looking at printed instructions. She also has my dashboard GPS.
It drives me crazy when I’m following the GPS and she’s reading instructions, which are often slightly different.
The last trip to San Diego marina from Riverside the Google printed instructions went far, and away from where we wanted to go. Fortunately we had an old Thomas guide from the late nineties in the car, and found our way.
Yeah. They’re try to steer you down a path in the upcoming election too...with a “muddy road” result.
And even though I use GPS, I have maps of several states in my truck
The Denver International Airport is WAY out in the sticks. I have no idea of what this “short cut” was. There are major highways all the way there from Denver proper.
I stopped using it when I would tell “Assistant” to “navigate me home” and it kept giving me directions to a cemetery. Still don’t know if it was a threat or a prediction. My wife used Maps last week to try to get to work and avoid traffic; it routed her to Las Vegas (400+ miles away). Maps just ain’t that good for us.
Google shifted their workforce from maps to Leftist activism and propaganda, this was the inevitable result.
“Recalculating.....Recalculating.....”
Google’s “single source of truth”.
Serious, look up their statement on single source of truth...
"Hey Sanjay, who was updating the Denver map the other day?"
"Let me check....somebody named E. Jean Carroll.."
Idiots.
I avoided that mess by going down to 104 and then heading east so that I could rejoin Pena Blvd further east of the accident. That was a basic go past, turn east and then turn north when you can.
What happens when you trust an app.
Imagine a truck loaded with 44,000 pounds of stuff driving autonomously next to your family with this kind of intelligence behind the wheel.
Wonder what happens if a Trump stcker triggers it?
Those dumbasses will follow a stupid phone over a cliff.
WAZE is better
We have lived in the same house for over 40 years.
Maps then showed the road to get our home from the south just came due north. There was one problem. For fire fighting security, there is a locked gate about half way up from the south.
Whenever I saw a cop or firetruck parked or cruising our area, I stopped and got them to follow me to show how the maps were wrong.
When the first GPS units for vehicles came out, they did the same thing.
About 3 years ago that has changed. The current GPS maps show the closed gate situation.
Every once in a while something happens, and a vehicle can’t get to us from the south in spite of their GPS showing that they could.
So they failed to notice something was wrong. If these clowns were on a mountain road at 12,000 feet and google said “turn left now,” they’d be dead. Darwin anyone?
