It blows my mind talking to my grandpa. His first question is how was traffic and the next is how did I get there. Then he’ll say well next time take the 5 for 3.9 miles, then hop on 78 until you see the 420 then do a triple lane change to the 69 then you’re home. And then I’m like sure thing grandpa I’ll remember that for sure, as I’m tapping the home button on google maps lol.
“How did you get here?”
“I dunno, I just did what my GPS said!”
“I followed the blue line until it told me to stop”
Honestly they should just be pleased we don’t have to spend as much effort and brain space as they did just for transit.
In my defense, I use it not because I don’t know how to get where I need to go, but because it shows real time traffic info that could help me find another route to avoid said traffic rather than being stuck in that traffic. Driving through local roads to get to work sucks because sometimes it’s fine but other times there are accidents or roadwork that causes backups.
I use it to avoid traffic
Ditto.
Traffic can be very heavy and very random in my city. You never know when a road is blocked.
Every time I don’t use GPS I regret it.
