Scenario:
premise:
- driving, from home to, say, place-A you kind of know how to reach there. last you visited was 2-3 years back!
- you are on speaker phone, since hands free is enforced by law.
- place X is where you have never been to, neither you know directions to, nor where it is.
- you will be given directions when you drive to place X on phone.
- It's raining badly.
- the day is weekend.
goal:
- you need to reach from place A to place X.
thinkable outcome:
- the road, you are on, vanishes out of sight all of sudden and you end up turning on a street you think may lead you to highway.
- you get confused on a small road: seemingly a ramp, leading to highway and a sign right at the curve- 'no outlet'.
- you get so many honks from drivers behind you.
- you end up going straight on a one-way exit ramp, driving in wrong direction!
- you don't want to go to place X.
- you start crying.
Is this possible? In this universe, it actually happened not too far ago, on Sept 24, 2005..
but place X was visited finally..

anyways... u made it finally...
and be assured that you are not alone in missing directions on ur way to unknown terrain :_)
Wanna have a look at my experience ?
hehe :) I havent tried out any GPS thingy but so far Im doing good with google maps. But then when you are visiting new places or on a long journey discovering new places, then not having a GPS might be a problem :)
geo:
I have been in this city for over 5 years, and this can still happen!! A city has a lot to give you :)
sensiblystoned:
I have not used gps personally, but one of my friends has a voice enabled GPS, and having this passenger sit exerience, I think it would be very useful.
:)))
Gone are those days of stopping and asking for directions (and sometimes getting the wrong ones)!
:-)
