GPS-Go Play in the Snow?

[gini]

My client's son was getting married and I was invited to the wedding. The location is about 45 minutes from my home - but I left giving myself two hours travel time.

I plugged in the address of the church and off I went. I followed to the letter every turn my GPS gave me. It took me onto a freeway - took me off the freeway - traveled surface streets for a while and then had me on another freeway.

I still am carefully following the instructions and turn left when told. I ended up in the hills in an all residential area. It clearly tells me as I pull up in front of a beautiful home - YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION.

I must have done something wrong - made a wrong turn - didn't pay attention - I was really beating myself up and time was running out.

So I went back down the hill and started over - and ended up at the same house. Just then a woman pulled into the driveway -and I quickly got out of the car to talk to her. No, she wasn't having a wedding at her home that day - but where was I trying to go??..........I told her and she laughed - I had to go back down the hill and go across the highway.

The address I used was correct - but the GPS sent me left rather than right.

So what should have taken me 45 minutes on a Saturday took me almost my entire allotted time of 2 hours.

You DO NOT ARRIVE LATE AT YOUR CLIENT'S SON'S WEDDING!! I made it into the Church just minutes before the bride walked down the aisle.

PHEW!! So even if they can be wonderful - they can also be not so wonderful if you have a time problem.

I'm still mildly amused that the USAF took out his GPS jamming equipment with a JDAM..........which is a GPS guided bomb.

You know tech cancels itself out eventually.

Do you know what kind of watch the pilot was wearing? You know, for Time Over Target?

LOL, I dedicate this song to you!

Never gonna fall for
Modern Love walks beside me
Modern Love walks on by
Modern Love gets me to the Church on Time
Church on Time terrifies me
Church on Time makes me party
Church on Time puts my trust in God and Man
God and Man no confessions
God and Man no religion
God and Man don't believe
in Modern Love!

-Modern Love, D Bowie

Nose to north, back to the south
Right is west and the east is what you have "left".

Things are even more strange in your end of the world than I thought.
Here west will be left if your nose points to the north

Same here Barbara. Maybe it's different in fantasyland.

He could have just misremembered it!

During the day it's easy, sun rises in the East, sets in the West. At night, a compass is more helpful! We live on North Street, and funny enough the longer part of it is pretty directly North-South pointing, but then the street takes a 90-degree left turn, so who knows why it got its name!

LOL,

You all were paying attention.....It works if you are standing on your head.

Its a GPS joke.

Make sure the time setting on your GPS is accurate! I was trying to get my "current location" and it was off by about 20 miles; it turned out my time was off by about 4 minutes.

LOL - there is a street a few miles from my house called - (drumroll please...)


South West North Dakota.


at least I know I'm not East.
