Our new car came with a dashboard-GPS, it fooled us a few times, but still takes us where we want to go.
Last weekend we set a POI 40 miles from our home and made it a fun trip following the instructions, although we roughly knew where to go. The GPS made the 40 miles a 80 miles trip, through towns we've never seen before, it fooled us badly, but it took us to the destination.
If we would have been on vacation and didn't know better, we would have never noticed what a detour the GPS had chosen.
My husband made the following comment: Our GPS must have beeen made by a gas company!
