That's so silly, I'm a total map app bitch guy and I couldn't care less what people think of it.

If only my dad could read maps. I drive a lot when we go on vacation together, but often have to do the navigation as well. Read paper maps too since I was a kid because both my parents are horrible at directions. Was basically their tomtom before it existed. I was able to track the position with my finger fairly accurately.

I don't mind navigating, but it sucks that he gets confused by it while insisting he does the navigation. Be it app or paper. I stay quiet and comply unless I expect the detour to be too much. He's got to get the hang of it sometime. Surely.

Would you turn Google maps?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Okay, it's in portrait mode. Now what?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure if that was a mistake or just zoomer speak

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Babe please, would you Google turn maps?

What about the roads away from Rome?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Joke's on you, I use Google maps to go the exact same way to work every day. The one day I didn't I got caught in an hour of traffic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I honestly used to love a traffic jam on the way to work. An extra hour I wasn't at work, just chillin' listening to my music, not being at fucking work. It was great. If traffic was completely stopped, like put it in park, turn off the ignition stopped, then it was Netflix on my phone time baby.

Traffic jams on the way home suuuucked though. At the time real time traffic info in my area was spotty at best, though. Almost impossible to use as an excuse now.

Car dependency be like.

This. I once sat in stationary traffic for an hour and a half because a truck rolled over on a major highway. Nowadays I put my destination into Waze and if the best route is a long detour I just turn the car off and go back inside.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same here, besides the going back inside part, that's a smart move. I read something about Waze sunsetting so I assume that means Google/Apple maps have police warnings now, but I don't know that for certain.

I try to check every day, especially on the way home, it has live traffic. I've dodged more than one traffic jam/wreck/etc by checking the directions.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (4 children)

it's even worse if you are in Rome. How do you get out?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Not on a road

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just dont follow a road until you leave

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well surely if all roads lead into Rome, they must all lead out as well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The map could look like a huge flower.

All roads could be loops the go back to Rome either way.

Man, its so easy to get confused about which direction you're going when traveling takes days at a time and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

What sort of heretical bullshit is this? Everyone knows the sun rises and sets in Rome!
