Early in the Apple Maps days I took a road trip from Minneapolis to the west coast and back. Somewhere in southern Wyoming we were headed to the front range in Summit County (west of Denver) and maps took us on what I can only describe as a dirt road up a mountain complete with wildlife of goats or whatever terrestrial creatures stirred.
But the best part? Seeing all the other users of maps along the route! Barely enough room for two cars to pass. But we had each other. Everyone would hold up their iPhone and mouth “WTF?” with wide eyes.
- lostlogin 5y agoIt would be fascinating to see what it took for people to stop and turn back.
- nradov 5y agoSome of those roads are too narrow to turn around.

Often I'll cycle by besumed tourist off the main road wondering where they are. Its a public road but not cleared or gritted in the winter. A couple visiting a nearby village last week were rescued by a farmer after Google sent them along this scenic route in a snow storm.
