Google maps seems to be one of the most popular ways of navigating to new places. Have you ever been misled by it. I have occasionally been taken through narrow streets which were confusing but ultimately took me to my destination. On a couple of occasions I didn't realise that I had chosen a destination with a similar name to the hotel I was looking for. Most of the time the navigation has been uneventful. Have you ever had unexpected adventures due to google maps!

A lot of times. Once my brother and I were going on his friend's marriage, we had to take a turn and we missed it. We end up taking a longer route but it was enjoyable.

Whenever I travel to an unfamiliar place, I usually use it. For me, it is the best way to find the way.

Yes, two times, the second time being two days ago. It was so frustrating!
