I learned to NEVER use the GPS from a damn cell phone. I did that once at Christmas because my wife just had to try it out on her new phone, and we ended up out in the West Virginia sticks so deep, I swore a Sasquatch was going to jump in the road and flip the car. And I was born and raised in the area, so that ought to tell you where that infernal thing steered us, looking for a back road shortcut. It's a thirteen hour drive from here to the Maryland hills, and that jabbering utensil added an extra two hours to it. It rained all the way to Virginia and was pea soup fog through the WV hills and hollows, and by the time we got home, I was so fatigued and shell-shocked, my entire body was shaking. I'm amazed we didn't crash. She did the same thing to me again two years ago, driving to a Christmas concert in Birmingham. I swore from that day on, I drive the route I know, not the route she thinks is quicker. Just sit there, play a card game on that thing, and shaddup already. LOL
