If I still owned a car and drove a lot, I'd probably get myself a GPS. But I don't see the point of renting one when I rent a car. I would probably have to spend more time than it's worth familiarizing myself with that car's GPS.Instead, I use paper maps and Google Maps traffic feature. It worked decently well getting back from northern Vermont to Albany after the eclipse, though I could have done better if I had been omniscient. Also, riding in other people's cars when they rely on GPS, I'm not really impressed with their ability to use it. If something goes the slightest bit wrong, they are at the mercy of the GPS. They have no idea where they are. Here's a hypothetical question (though it really happened to me). I'm in Northhampton MA and want to get back to NYC. It's Thanksgiving time and there's a bad snowstorm coming. The roads are packed. Do I take I84 and I684, I91 and the Merritt, or I91 and I95? I used Google Maps to convince myself I84 was the best. My in-laws used the Merritt and took easily half an hour longer for the trip. Would you expect a decent GPS system to figure out the best route given current traffic conditions? |
