A mistake I'll make only once: driving to Montreal only to realize my phone was useless once I got to the city limits and needed to figure out how to get to my hotel.
- cguess 11y agoIf you start the navigation ahead of time it'll keep going even if you're offline. It caches the route and gps waypoints. Worked great on my trip from NYC to Quebec City.
- ethanbond 11y agoAh, that's good to know. I didn't do that since I know how to get to Montreal itself easily. From my front door: left, left, right, straight * 3 hours. A one time mistake, for sure, though!
- sedachv 11y agoThey have these things called maps, sold at gas stations.
- jonknee 11y agoWhich aren't much good for finding most POIs.
- sedachv 11y agoIf you know the address or cross-streets it is very easy. You can also ask for directions. Believe it or not people managed to travel to and around unfamiliar cities just fine before the widespread use of GPS.
- ethanbond 11y agoBelieve it or not "I got lost when I realized my GPS was useless" does not imply "I starved to death in the cold Canadian woods after wandering aimlessly for 4 days." I found the hotel just fine! It was just a bit of a "should've seen that coming" type of moment, is all.
