I presume many of us who drive use a GPS for navigation. Well I do!
For the most part I find they are great but occasionally .............
I no longer carry a road book so I am depending on my GPS for finding new places. I've been guided to some weird places.
My last experience ended up at the right address number, right street name, wrong suburb and ...it was a massage parlour (brothel) :o
Anyone else had 'interesting' GPS experiences

Fortunately not.
"At the next intersection turn left..." ooops! No one updated the GPS that the bridge was out...

No don't like them.
I like to know before I set out where I am going.
Never been lost and proud of it. ;)

I use Waze even though both our cars have built in satnav.
