I’ve always thought that it would be cool if, when you take an exit off the highway, you could choose which location with the name on the sign you ended up at. In other words, if you were driving on I-75 and saw a sign for Lima, you could choose… Lima, OH? or Lima, Peru? Then you would just want to make sure you live in a place with enough other places nearby which take their names from other places. Unfortunately, as far as I know, Fargo is unique.
Also, I wonder about my GPS. Ronni thinks the voice sounds sad or resigned when it is forced to recalculate your route (because you didn’t follow its directions). For my part, I have fun making it recalculate. After all, I know it has a route in mind, but I’ve already decided on my route with Google Maps. The GPS is just back-up. It took about a mile before it finally capitulated to my route. It spent that mile trying to get me to make turns so that I would wind up back on its preferred route. It did sound a little resigned when it finally accepted my new path.
Which makes me wonder… Why do I have three devices with GPS capability, including an actual dedicated GPS, and I still get directions from Google Maps that I print out at home before setting out on the road? Doesn’t that seem like overkill?
