Neither, but my coworkers are apparently unable to carpool to a lunch spot 5 mins away that we visit every 2-3 weeks without setting nav first.

- ErroneousBosh 29d agoMany years ago now I picked up a colleague (the boss's son, actually) to drive down to London from Glasgow to collect some equipment. First thing he did was slap a massive TomTom sat nav in the middle of the screen. He got pretty indignant when I told him to take it off, because it was blocking my view out the windscreen. "But how will you know where to go?" Dude, it's London. London is south. We go south. We go south for like eight hours. We can use the sat nav for the last dozen or so of the 400-odd miles we'll be driving.
- Apocryphon 28d agoMaybe he didn’t know that you knew how to get onto the motorway, or that it’s straightforward to do so. Try driving I-80 in San Francisco during rush hour and make the 4th Street exit without getting forced onto the Bay Bridge, without either having done it before or without some sort of guidance- digital or otherwise. Getting on and off a freeway is not always simple. Not to mention, even long road trips sometimes require a few highway transitions.
