When you are at least somewhat familiar with the area, it’s easier to know when you are being led astray

Last week I used Waze to navigate to a shooting range I had been to a few times before, but it’s out in the boonies. Anyway, I knew the first part perfectly well so I ignored directions to turn onto a different highway. It then started hectoring me to turn around at every little street and road. Knowing better, I kept going, until I reached the flooded part of the highway and had to turn around.

Sounds like Google/Waze directions to my house.

While technically they offer a shorter distance - it takes longer due to narrow rural roads.

And then when the river is up over the low water crossing - you have to back track some 10 miles to get back to the highway you should have stayed on.
