Fellow Borg Drones, I Feel Your Pain

5 comments

In my city, when you're dispatched to the parish juvenile detention center, our GPS mapping software leads you to Chuck E. Cheese*.

True story.

* I'd say "directly to Chuck E. Cheese," but I don't think our route instructions lead you anywhere directly…

    “continue enroute in 1/10 of a mile.”

    DAMNIT THERE GOES MY EXIT

    agree 100 percent!

    that’s just as bad as when our GPS leads us to a gas station when we type in a certain behavioral health center. I’d take Chuck E. Cheese anyday :)

    Hey, at least you HAVE GPS…

    Now that you have an iPhone (but its also available on Android for others) get Waze. While it may not be as accurate at first, *you can fix it*

    I also use their web site, became an area manager (just ask via a simple process) and have had the satisfaction of fixing map errors that have plagued my fast growing area for years

    And the community provided feedback on traffic and other incidents is invaluable.

    Finally, it’s iPad optimized – you haven’t lived until you have used GPS on a 10″ screen! My next iPad will have 3G data for this alone. There are many really good in car iPad holders – the better ones integrate with the passenger seat rails that are easily accessible on just about every car out there.
