I don't really like GPS's, my BF had to get one. I would rather get the directions before hand on the computer and look at the route (I'm the one who drives). I don't trust them, and I will tell you why. We when to see my mom and her BF the day after thanksgiving. He lives a little over an hour north of us. We went up there once before, so I had an idea of where we were going. Luckily I looked up the directions before going and wrote them down. The GPS wanted us to get off a different exit. We needed exit four. At exit 1 "exit right... here". Exit 2 'exit right... here', exit 2 b 'exit right... here' and the same for exit 3 and 3b. So we take our exit and the GPS and my directions pretty much cyniced up, until we are almost there. You know that 'mayhem' commercial? The one where he is the GPS and says 'turn left.. NOW!!', and the guy turns down the one way street. Well, that is pretty much what this GPS did. The only thing was there was no street where it wanted us to turn. Not even a drive way or parking lot. Even better, it wanted us to turn left, when our turn was a couple blocks ahead, on the right. On the way back it wanted us to make every right turn, when it is a straight ride. Last time we listened to it and ended up taking the very long scenic route. Our way cut about 20 minutes off from the last time. There was another time, my mom moved but I knew the area. We took the GPS anyway just in case. Way before we got close it keep saying to turn right (what is it with this thing and right turns?
) If we would have turned right we wouldn't have been able to get to the house. We finally get close to where we needed to go right and it says go left
So that is why I don't like GPS's. Stupid things always trying to get me lost
And this Friday we are going up to Hamburg PA for a reptile show. Neither of us have ever been up there, so wish us luck. Hopefully it doesn't take us to Ohio instead.
