I wanted to go to the airport and Android Navigation directed me to the fence at the end of a runway. But usually it works really well.

- eftpotrm 15y agoIt's not like this is unique to Google's nav system, and at least a web nav system can be updated relatively simply compared to separate GPS systems. I've got a Garmin Nuvi and, in general, it's pretty good. In general. Issues I have found though: * Suggesting that the public driveway to a crematorium was via a motorway * Mistaking a flyover for a junction and asking me to turn from one road to the other * Search refusing to acknowledge a road existed until I was actually on it (and being reported as such) * The same ignorance of barriers blocking roads that regularly gets reported for all devices This is for a relatively light user of the device. I'm sure there's more, and that they exist for other devices as well.
- marquis 15y agoI've been directed to drive through a river to get to a village on the other side. At some point there must have been a ford, but last year it really was just a river. When using navigation software outside of cities I'm extremely careful and try to look up the route before I leave due to these problems in mountainous, barely-habited environments.
