How true. There's this 1 place we occasionally go to that I use the map to go because I always forget where to turn once we are nearly there. Every single time though, about half way there, it wants me to take a right turn onto a side street, travel a few blocks, make a left, travel a few blocks, make another left, then a right back onto the same street I was originally on. Every single time. No construction, no detour, nothing to give Google Maps a reason to do that, yet every single time.

We were headed to Burlington, VT for a nice weekend visit. I was using a GPS to guide me up the highway. We were directed to take the eastbound exit for a certain road, cross over the highway, get back on the highway headed in the opposite direction so we could take the westbound exit for that same road.

I do that all by myself, I don't need a GPS to tell me what to do.

When there is a mistake like that, I send feedback to Google Maps. They have corrected a number of problems that I have pointed out. There is a link at the bottom right of the map for feedback. It might take a while. I have been pestering them about some directions to my house. I just checked on that and it's fixed.

My grocery list app, Our Groceries, is on my phone. I might want to call my husband or he might want to call me, when I'm shopping. I really don't expect (or want) calls from anyone else when I'm shopping.

I LOVE that app! I also loved watching items get crossed off when Frank made a grocery run!
