Map Directions

Until I purchased a GPS getting somewhere always presented a challenge. Now I'm perfectly willing to allow a voice to say—in a rather bossy tone—"Turn now". I gather there isn't enough time to say Please turn now, nor would that add anything to her precision.

Sometimes I don't trust her. Why this road?

Once she took me to the wrong town, but I expect I made an error. She's not perfect, but her success rate is far superior to mine—even when I defer to Map Quest. And I've noticed that Map Quest sometimes engages in a circuitous route simply, I imagine, for her own devious reasons.

It is a matter of giving up control to a small dictatorial voice. I should refuse to succumb to yet another device. I should take on more responsibility—

What next?
