Has your GPS ever LIED to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Few weeks ago i was looking for a Home Depot and it led me to "one" but it lied to me It was a old abandoned Pergament or something...i was told later HD ownns em or somehting? the fucking thing lied to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Mine's never straight out lied to me, but it has definately taken me down some
"roads", and if i'm driving across the country frequently the 'shortest' route is about 100km longer then it should be.

nope not yet!

lol... true. Those things are not perfect yet

I don't have a GPS, but MapQuest has lied to me many many times!!!

Mine took me to a cemetery once, then proudly announced "You have arrived."


CREEEPPPPY

Whatever you do don't trust the GPS in Hertz rental cars in Miami and SE Florida... I had to experience it a few times to completely write it off and decide it was safer to stop at every gas station in the ghetto and ask for directions.

Yeah mine has taken me on some annoying paths.

I just love it when it says turn here and youre on the highway

I was once warned about a red light camera nearby.

On a freeway.

mine had given me a few "lefts turns" when it really had to be right!

and, often gives very silly routes, like get off the highway to exits early, even though the destination is right comfortably located two exits later...

Took me to the nearest post office but the post office was no longer there.

I went to a resto the other night and it sent me to a parking lot NEXT to the resto, but you couldn't access the resto parking lot from where it sent me. I spent another 5 minutes getting back on the main road and to the resto itself. It's a 2006 car and I found out the GPS is from 2002 - then they had the nerve to send me an offer for an update for $150.

I like the Garmin I bought for the Wrangler a lot better :)

Neither of them have my house or even my street on it, lol.

So you guys are rich too. I want a GPS

Mine doesn't know where the Hard Rock in Vegas is. Off by a couple blocks. And I think it intentionally fucks with me in Chicago.

mine is pretty tight

mine told me i was in carlsbad caverns...i spelunked for like 3 hours before i realized it was your asshole :disgust

FUCKING FUNNY....lmfao that had me going for a good 30 seconds. thanks!!!!:winkwink:

i have a Garmin and it is my best friend. Can't complain about those ones. although when i type in a business name, someitmes it doesnt understand what i mean.

I'm using IGo on a PDA and so far it's been great. Of course it has it's moments every once in a while, but I'm sure it saved me a whole lot of time since I had it.

Chicago and Detroit it has fucked with me several times. Places where a shitload of freeways intersect like Washington DC is an absolute nightmare. Get downtown where there's skyscrapers and good luck getting a proper signal!

I've also had mine in some country ass shit in West VA and it has been a little difficult... Being told to turn right when there's a large dropoff and shit like that.

Garmin C320 here, planning on upgrading to one of those new wide, large screen ones with bluetooth and voice recognition.

I've put nearly 25k miles on my car in 6mnths + 1wk so somebody like me spending a few hundred on a GPS is worth it! If you don't travel much don't bother getting one unless you are in fact "rich"

Tom Tom software stops navigating if it thinks you're off the road (eg on a long private driveway). This wouldn't normally be an issue except once I get into rural areas the path I'm driving doesn't seem to match what they have stored, so... apparently I'm off the road, and it ceases giving me instructions.

I once drove 11km in the wrong direction before it suddenly "snapped" back onto the road and told me to turn around.

oh this is the famous juicy

was going from orlando to tampa and I selected the shortest route.It took me on this state road in the middle of nowhere, no highway in sight. Past a motel that looked like it would be in a horror movie . lol

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Almost as good as my aunt's.

She and her husband were a bit late at a funeral, and arrived as the coffin was already being carried to the grave. They'd taken the GPS from the car, but had forgotten to turn it off. Here's what it said, at the very moment they reached the group of people escorting the coffin:

"If possible, turn around and return."

And yes, that actually happened :1orglaugh

yeah the "shortest route " option is by far the "where the fuck are you taking me " option lol

yeah this bitch is always lying me

If you're not in a hurry then the "exclude motorways" option can be interesting. On a recent country trip it was far more appealing driving down picturesque back roads rather than driving down a freeway cutting for 2 hours.

mine is aight

guys make this thread interesting

post pics of your gps unit

Mine has told me to turn left to a ramp, that was not there. A few wrong left and rights

Not sure what difference it makes, but here's mine. It is a PDA with integrated GPS receiver, and TomTom s/w.

my gps hasn't lied to me yet

Mine showed me I was driving IN water once, crossing a bridge...

The Garvin I bought for the Wrangler is so much more accurate than the built in on the Cherokee - aren't they all using the same satellites?

We were driving through Alabama on a 4 lane road a few weeks ago and the Cherokee kept telling me I was going off the road. On, off, on, off - it was crazy.

Plus it calls the road I drive on to get to Atlanta something different depending on if my final destination is in Marietta or in Atlanta proper.

They still save me HOURS AND HOURS of time and I'll never be without one again :)

Many times and it fuckin' pisses me off

ya its cuz its old info
