I know the feeling. I mindlessly follow the GPS as it tells me to go blocks out of the way and make huge loops around the city to get to the same place I could have gone if I just went straight. Faith in the GPS can be like a religion — you don’t question it.

My GPS "story" is that it is hubby that trusts GPS withiut auestion!

We had an occasion to be attending a wedding at Pensacola Beach and directions from Nuvi was to drive out of the lot behind our B&B, turn Right for 6 blocks, Left for 4 blocks, another Left for 6 blocks, then Left again 3 1/2 blocks & turn Left onto a causeway.

In fact, GPS Nuvi had us making a rather large rectangle to take the very next Left our of our B&B parking area (1/2 block from our starting point!).

I became almost violent when hubby attempted to repeat the directions later the same day!

We are still married but..........
