Is there some legal requirement that GPS directions absolutely must, without fail, take you through the shittiest, most run down, most dilapidated, most dangerous part of every town?
-
We can't just ignore the plight of the inner cities. See the plight kids?

Roll 'em up.

It has to do with quotas and what not. But, at least it announces a potentially life ending turn 25 feet after you've passed it.

Man fuck yo momma

You don't want directions from me, this ain't even my neighborhood.

It's trying to kill me. Took me down three different roads in Arkansas named for Dr King.
Then in a blinding rain storm it turned me onto a gravel road that quickly turned into barely one lane with cornfields on both sides. Several miles in the road switched to straight dirt. Turn around? Not possible. So kept sliding forward. Rain slowed but slogging on through the mud, afraid to slow down much thinking that getting stuck was a real option. Buried back in there the fields opened up a little and there was a ramshackle shed, green with age. Old man maybe 90 lbs with thick glasses, dirty work clothes and a greasy trucker hat sitting on a dilapidated couch. I watched the Wrong Turn and Texas Chainsaw movies. Kept grinding.
Eventually came to a 2 lane road. Got on it against the GPS directions. Used my phone to look up where I was. When my truck GPS demanded that I turn onto another red clay road, this one with an open gate? I turned it off.

Don't know about Google's efforts to kill whitey, but I'm fucking convinced that they're in bed with the toll-road operators.
I take the FL Turnpike to/through Orlando frequently. If you're not an Orlando regular: the place is fucking lousy with toll roads. First couple of times, I put my hotel location in (downtown Orlando, Embassy Suites) and navigate the 145 toll roads that I'm instructed to take before reaching my destination.
After a few trips to Mouse-town, I got comfortable with the layout and started forging my own paths. Turns out the fucking turnpike crosses I-4 just west of downtown.
Ergo, I did not need to take any separate toll roads the entire time.

You WILL see what you are responsible for you guilty white mother fucker!

I would go so far as to say that Tom-Tom and Garmin changed the way we drive to places we've never been. They put a huge dent in Rand McNalley's pocket and single handedly caused more traffic accidents than any passenger side navigator ever has...Icons in my book!! Everybody immediately thinks of one if not both of them when they hear "in 2.7 miles, turn left".

I admire the tenacity. Reminds me of me.

I wouldn't say tom tom and garmin are iconic. But their navigation voices are. They started a new genre.

Garmin...yes in the fact they are the leaders in wearable, marine and handheld technology.

Leaders of the organic, gluten free movement you could say.

I just know that I'm sick and tired of fitbit. It's the most inaccurate tracking device that I've ever seen. I've ran the same damn route 15 times in 2 months and it hasn't had the same distance twice. Anywhere from 5.8 to 6.7.

Honest truth?
Its because Fitbit and other products like it are "fitness tracking toys" with lots of graphs and cute metrics. They are not a scientific positioning device. Garmin has its flaws but they have this shit nailed down as good as anyone.

Why all this sudden talk about Garmin? He hasn't posted for years.

Inches?

For the record, until my diet changes I'm not allowed to be considered a health nut.
BUT I am about to drop some cheese on Garmin.

He's been sleeping in the SGA forums

If he would just quit trying to use the Fitbit in the squad car.....

Hey he walks to the donut store every morning!

Fitbit should track how many doughnuts a cop eats. That would be useful.

Unfortunately lately that's a little more true than I'd like for it to be.

I took my TomTom on my recent trip to Alberta. For almost 50 miles between the towns of Brooks and Lethbridge, the damn thing kept trying to get me to turn left turn into a Canola field. Another time, it overshot my exit on the Trans Canada highway and tried to get me to do a u-turn into the opposing lane of traffic.
GPS navigation is damn near non existent on the prairie.

That's what your get for colluding with foreigners!

This is gibberish. I know very little of northwest Alabama.

Garmin. I'm assuming you have downloaded correct maps. Traveled BC and part
of Alberta flawlessly. Sirius satellite not so much.

Do none of you people have smart phones? Google maps ftw.

I use Google maps for interstate travel and choose the avoid tolls option. As for intercity travel to avoid high crime areas, I would recommend RedZone. It's available for iOS and Android. I haven't use it yet, because I don't travel much (I do have the app on my phone).

Or if you want to be cutting edge use Waze, it tells you where the po-po be hiding and if you have heavy traffic will re-rout you automatically.

I downloaded it the other day but haven't really experimented with it much yet.

Yep, Waze is the shit

When I'm heading to the beach for vacation I always tag the police every 2-3 miles.

The Waze. :thumsup:

I stop at gas stations and ask directions from the blacks in the parking lot drinking.
