Honestly, my wife is the navigator and her using her phone has been a total godsend on vacations. The instructions she gives are usually perfect, and even when I make a mistake and miss an exit, the program immediately generates alternate directions and saves the day. It's made navigation in unusual places five times easier.

2021-05-25 15:21:00 +0000 UTCTo be fair, it does depend some on the app in use on said phone, but even still, the user needs to use a little critical thinking, too. I have had issues before with old, self-contained GPS units (old style Garmin vs phone app) in that roads were changed but the information the unit contained wasn't updated (kept telling me to go straight through a park where they had removed the road and instead put in a T intersection that went around it :P ), but generally the internet connected ones that can pull in new, live data are a lot better at that (especially Google). Most memorable "oh crap, we went the wrong way" moment from following a GPS was actually user error. Following along a highway through NYC and there were two exits almost side by side and I accidentally took the wrong one of the two. Ended up going through the middle of the Bronx.... My girlfriend, who has a hard time with highways in the first place, started having anxiety so bad, that by the time we got out of there, she passed straight out. XD
