I’ll use Google maps to check for traffic on my route before leaving, but that’s all.
If I’m going somewhere I’ve been more than two or three times, I don’t use GPS.
I just like to have a little minimap following me like in a video game.
I use Waze whenever I drive, it also keeps me informed about accidents, cops, and other hazards.
Perhaps they have a short commute, or perhaps they have a phone mount in their car so they can see the traffic live on the map.
Honestly they should just be pleased we don’t have to spend as much effort and brain space as they did just for transit.
Sadly it’s almost never the case where people say “oh, life is better for you! Cool!”
Studies have shown that using your brain to navigate once you get used to a route is beneficial.
Are we getting native advertisements on Lemmy now too?
Or do you just genuinely like it that much?
Guy at work always wonders how I get to the jobsites before him and he’s stuck for 15 minutes sometimes… I look up the traffic using maps first.
The only thing I use GPS for is to zoom in and see exit numbers before I get to them. I am a weirdo and when I go somewhere once, I am usually good to go.
