Back before GPS was easily accessible and we wrote down directions to places we were going for the first time, I could often be counted on to miss a street or make a wrong turn somewhere.
I usually just found a pay phone, called someone at my destination, told them where I was and asked for updated directions.
It was last century’s version of “recalculating.” LOL
Only once has GPS directions on my smart phone been perfect. Just 3 days ago my Wife went on a 148 mile trip to visit a friend in the Hospital. The app sent her 10 miles in the wrong direction, but got her 95% of the way there. I don’t trust them and never have.
