I only left part of your quote but even in a city where I live right there and know the first 10 miles of the route by heart,I will be sent weird ways. And often into a short driveway that leads to a locked gate with a road going thru a housing development for residents only. Not a cow pasture but I would have to crash thru that gate like they do in the movies.
My biggest issue is the schedulers who think i can get 10 miles as the crow flies and still in the same big city in 10 minutes when the actual trip is 20 miles as I am not a crow and traffic means I can travel 14 mph.
It seems like the best answer is to travel the long highways from the paper map or knowledge of the area and only use whatever app you have when you get to the city limits to find how to get to the exact address.
It ends in a cow pasture, 40 miles south of the town north of us.
There are NOT alternate routes!!!
As for cities, I've been with friends/family while they are relying on Google or whatever navigation stuff they use, while I'm trying to give them knowledgeable directions -- and they tell me to shut up while Google takes them the "shortest" route -- right through the crime-infested ghetto!!!!
No, thanks.
