A recent arrival tells me that, on the way here, he was lost because...his GPS changed the coordinates he entered before the trip started. Getting lost drew it to his attention. He had to re-enter coordinates multiple times on the way here. Finally, he gave up, and used a Google map.
Now, if we could only get Google to give the best routes, a paper map would not be required. Unfortunately, when I have tried to map Google routes for clients, using shortcuts and backroads I know, Google won't let me at them!
Bad data abounds.
I can give alternate routes to get here, but I have to define it by highway/sideroad number and compass bearing, the archaic verbal referring to map type of "wayfinding". Easier if you bring a real MTO roadmap, and I can highlight the alternate route for the way home.
