If you’re wondering what that pic is – its the best picture I could find that oozed “Middle of No Where” (thanks to this site).

Thats where my GPS took me on Tuesday night as I searched for a Walmart in Dallas, Tx.

I’m still confused as to how I ended up driving more than an hour than I should’ve, but this is one of the things that is bound to happen when you depend on something – regardless if it is a human, or some form of technology related gadget…

Earlier this year, I had the blessing to test out the navigation system from another service provider (not Sprint…) and when I had to return the phone I lost a piece of me…that being my mind.

I absolutely hate my GPS. I hate having to get off of a highway to wait for it to ‘reload’, or being led to a non-existent destination. What the heck…and it was right after an upgrade.

WHY??????????? WHY ME?????????????

Someone please recommend a working GPS – I’m going to buy one. I swear. I don’t care how much it costs.

    I have had a similar experience while going to Houston Hobby airport. My GPS took me to a vacant lot:) Luckily my destination was not too far.

    I have tried different GPS before getting a Garmin. I have been using Garmin Nuvi 350 for three years and I love it. I think Garmin has an edge over Magellan and TomTom. Beware Garmin Nuvi series models are numbered differently (higher model no may not be the advanced one).
