    I really don’t care for people who give me shit for using GPS. Of course they’re all older.

      often the same people who can’t hold speed to save their life but also inexplicably refuse to just use cruise control

      Using GPS is normal. Using GPS for everywhere you go, including locally or places you’ve been before, is shocking. I’ve met people who literally can not drive without GPS, and that shit is frightening.

      Edit: If you can’t drive short distances without a robot literally telling you where to turn, you shouldn’t have a license.

        Hell, I use it locally if there’s any highway involved. Wrecks are common here and knowing what roads to avoid is nice.

        I use it if I’m going anywhere out of town (even if i know how to get there) because it will redirect me if there is a road cosure/delay

        It’s very useful for rerouting when there’s traffic or roadworks.

        I use it way less when I go far, since that’s mostly just highways.
