While you’re at it, can you find and punch the guy who thinks it’s a good idea to zoom the map to “actual size, 1cm = 1cm” mode for your entire trip? I assume he’s also the one that taught it to spitefully let you drive off the side of the screen if you ever zoom out manually so that you can see more road on the phone than you can in real life. (With a “recenter” button that will zoom you all the way back in). Satnavs had this all figured out in 2005. | ||

Also punch the guy that allows Google Maps navigation to flip back to a route that's been specifically rejected. Earlier this week Google prompted me with "your route may be affected by tsunami warning". Indeed, so I chose the longer, inland route rather than the coast roads. 15 minutes later I realise it's rerouted me "due to traffic conditions" -- obviously the coast road isn't as busy! (This has happened many times before, but this was the first time I had a safety reason not to take the faster route.) |
