GPS Navigation

Post by Shlomart Ben Yisrael »

Do you use a designated GPS unit (Garmin...etc...), or do you just have a mount for your phone on the dash?
Or do you just not give a fuck where you're going, or when you'll get there?

Windshield mounted phone.

Until now it has been mostly the iphone standard GPS, but lately I have become a big fan of waze, mostly for its po-po detection. Also because the honey in my phone sounds kinda hot.

Typically I don't give a fuck where i'm going, or when I get there. Otherwise the basic iPhone maps/directions if I do need to give a fuck about where i'm going and when I need to get there.

It's not a radar detector, other Waze users note on the app if there are police or other things (cars on side of road, road kill, pot holes etc) and when you get close, it let's you know. You can confirm the hazard exists or dismiss it.

It freaked me out the 1st time I used it, was wondering how it knew these things.

Pretty good app and you can customize the voice, I'm currently using Cookie Monster.

*fun fact, Waze was developed by an Israeli company, yet one more way for us to dominate the world. :hfal:

My wife uses Cookie Monster.

I can't, so I stick with the default hottie.

Didn't know your people developed Waze.

Does it have an annoying Jewish mother voice?

You type in McDonalds and it says, "Why get off exit 67 for that garbage? My Hershel used to eat that shit till it killed him. Get off the next exit and go to Rein's. The Lox is out of this world.


BTW, there is a McD's at exit 67. Rein's is another mile down, exit 66 and is THE place to stop for any Heb making the NY to Boston drive. Go in there on a Sunday afternoon and you'll see more NY and NJ plates than Ct.

Cockblock works there. Last week he brings home a loaf of Rye which could be used as building blocks. I think it weighed 10 lbs. He said he dropped it at work and they were gonna chuck it. I told him to drop another loaf. That shit was amazing. You pretty much need a diamond blade chop saw to slice it, but Oy vey!!!! Worth the effort.

Didn’t even know that Garmin was still in business. I have Apple car play in my ride and can use either the iPhone maps (notoriously inaccurate), Google maps or Waze. Mostly I use Google maps because it seems to work well and has a convenient interface. Haven’t gotten used to Waze yet but may switch at some point. My son uses Waze exclusively. It’s a generational thing I think. I’ve noticed a lot of Uber drivers use Waze.

I’m off in an hour or so to drive up to Irvine for a show (Chick Corea Trilogy) at the Barclay Theatre. I’ve never been there and will definitely be employing Google maps for the last couple of miles.

Google maps have not failed me yet. They even worked in some pretty desolate places in Iceland.

People that are dependent on navigation devices because they don't know where they are going, thus, not giving full attention to their driving while diverting attention to their directional device.

Pull off the road to figure out where you are at if you are confused. Don't speed up, slow down, lane drift because you are giving attention to your phone. When you are driving, give that your full attention to get from point A to B, if you don't know where point B is get the hell out of the way of people that know where their point B is.

and you can all fuck off and thank me at the same time.

Pretty much, other than the less than "C" roads in the UK you may find yourself on that can be sphincter clinching events, when combined with the steering wheel placed on the wrong side of the car, and old rock walls 18" from either side of a Ford Fiesta rental.

Take Away - Less than "C" roads that may show up,likely are not meant for vehicles with a 4-wheel width.

There is one feature in Maps that really pisses me off. It is the "find nearby" function.

It works OK, generally, but lets say you currently have a destination of Burlington, Vt, a few hundred miles away and you decide, you need some cumberland farms coffee and their awesome 2 for 4 breakfast sammis.

You start typing in Cumberland Farms. It automatically populates it, along with "mearby"

It shows you all the Cumby's near BTV....which is still 200 miles away.

Seems to me that when I ask for anything "nearby", my frame of reference to said term, is me. If I wanted near my destination, I would enter it.

The way around it is to look at the app, figure out where you currently are and add that to your typing. And that is a lot more typing when you are driving 70 mph.

Unlike everyone else, I can read the map, talk on the phone, text my wife and my girlfriend, search Prime Music for Moby Grape, check the weather and play Free Cell simultaneously, with no effect on my driving.

Thank you and fuck off.

Simultaneous texting of the OL and GF is a really, really bad idea.

Having any phone connection to the GF(s) is a really, really bad idea. Just ask Eldrick.

I suspect El Tigre might be happily married and sitting at 19-20 majors by now, had he not practiced that sort of thing.

I like the nav system for the last mile of a trip. There isn't a main road in Rochester I can't find. But the side streets, that's where it helps. I've also noticed that it tends to guide you to the expressways even during rush hour. I ignore those suggestions when necessary.

Also, I never read the map. Just connect to buetooth and work off voice communication.

Maps and GPS serve different purposes. There's been a lot written about the differences.

We have about a roomful of AAA maps and they're definitely best for plotting out planned routes when you have specific places you want to stop or routes you want to take, or just considering one route vs another.

GPS is always centered on where you are and is fine for finding the fastest route from where you are to where you want to be. The biggest shortcoming is that you can't get a good look at the "big picture." Of course, when you're driving you don't have much use for the big picture.

The traffic feature on any good map app is the most useful invention since, at least, the toaster. Paper maps are cool but they won't tell you if there's a 30 minute backup on the expressway you're about to merge onto.

Google maps for those rare times when I have never been to the place I’m going. Paper maps for backpacking.
