And it's never quick, either, like "in 50 meters turn left", is it?

"In 50m stay in the left hand lane marked 'left turn only towards Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Eccles, M60, M602, M62, A580', then in 200m take the exit following signs for 'Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Eccles, M60, M602, M62, A580' then at the fork take the left exit towards 'Manchester, Salford, Eccles, M602, A580' and we've found a quicker route that saves nine seconds and avoids congestion on the M602 Manchester Approach Road West via the A580 East Lancashire Road and A580 Salford Bypass. To not avoid unselecting this not route don't unpress the button."

So accurate

You guys are using GPS with the voice unmuted?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Not if I'm going someplace unfamiliar, but if I'm just using it for traffic it's usually muted.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I feel like the voice prompts are especially unhelpful if I am unfamiliar with the roads. Looking at the map shows me the next one or two turns at a glance and also shows me which lanes I need to take.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Right? I muted it exactly for this reason

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I muted mine years ago after it wouldn't stop referring to roads by numbering systems instead of the actual names on the signs.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Honorable mention to when the directions on the screen have the name but the voice says the number anywat

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

You're just constantly staring at the GPS instead of watching the road?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

No man you glance at it like you would glance at a rear view mirror.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Not so helpful after you miss your exit.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I Don't just look at the blue line, you gotta look at the upcoming direction too. A basic understanding of the next roadname you're turning on to/highway exit is all you need. Then just add the screen to any point in your rotation of rear mirror > left side mirror > rear mirror > right side mirror > front windshield [EVERYONE SHOULD BE DOING THIS ANYWAY] and you're good to go.

Right, and an audio cue decreases the load.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

What's the "load" in looking at the "200m ➡️" in the top corner?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Depending on where it's mounted it's plenty readable in my peripheral vision.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

No. Not ever.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

In two miles, continue straight.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Continue for ten miles...

Continue for seven miles...

Continue for thirty-five miles...

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Attention everyone. Please proceed.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Nothing will compare to last week when I was listening to a podcast in the car. The GPS will pause podcasts instead of turning down the volume. So I heard "well, this looks like a MUR - turn right on baker st - DER!". I bust out laughing all by myself in the car.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Why can't we get gps to pause music in this case too?

"Turn right in 500 feet.. "

"Okay."

"On blab blah blvd"

"Okay shut up."

"Route 32/128/64"

"FUCK"

" And then follow rt 3 for 2 miles"

"ARE YOU DONE??"

Silence. Music resumes playing.

"SPEED TRAP AHEAD. WE FOUND A FASTER ROUTE."

🔇 ... 🎵🎶 🤘 Keeping that shit on silent is the way to go.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Just.. turn it off then? GMaps has a setting that only plays a sound when you take a wrong turn. If you keep half an eye on the navigation this works very well.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Lol every fucking time

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I mute that shit

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I would but I like the robot telling me what to do

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Happened to me yesterday. Also, you can replace GPS voice with backseat toddler voice.

“Quiet please, Daddy wants to hear his song.”

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Daddy can't headbang to babbling.
