And it’s never quick, either, like “in 50 meters turn left”, is it?
“In 50m stay in the left hand lane marked ‘left turn only towards Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Eccles, M60, M602, M62, A580’, then in 200m take the exit following signs for ‘Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Eccles, M60, M602, M62, A580’ then at the fork take the left exit towards ‘Manchester, Salford, Eccles, M602, A580’ and we’ve found a quicker route that saves nine seconds and avoids congestion on the M602 Manchester Approach Road West via the A580 East Lancashire Road and A580 Salford Bypass. To not avoid unselecting this not route don’t unpress the button.”
So accurate
Just… turn it off then? GMaps has a setting that only plays a sound when you take a wrong turn. If you keep half an eye on the navigation this works very well.
Nothing will compare to last week when I was listening to a podcast in the car. The GPS will pause podcasts instead of turning down the volume. So I heard “well, this looks like a MUR - turn right on baker st - DER!”. I bust out laughing all by myself in the car.
"Turn right in 500 feet… "
“Okay.”
“On blab blah blvd”
“Okay shut up.”
“Route 32/128/64”
“FUCK”
" And then follow rt 3 for 2 miles"
“ARE YOU DONE??”
Silence. Music resumes playing.
“SPEED TRAP AHEAD. WE FOUND A FASTER ROUTE.”
“Rerouting”
“Rerouting”
“Rerouting rerouting rerouting”
I mute that shit
Happened to me yesterday. Also, you can replace GPS voice with backseat toddler voice.
“Quiet please, Daddy wants to hear his song.”
<toddler voice intensifies>
Daddy can’t headbang to babbling.
