I am chuckling at this because a friend of mine was here for a visit last
summer, I believe. We wanted to go to a restaurant, but I wasn't certain I
could give good enough directions to find it. So, we used her car's GPS, but
darned if she didn't pass the restaurant about three times. It is kind of
tucked in between two businesses which are positioned more forward on the
street line. We had a devil of a time getting in there. I now know what to
tell someone, but she missed that location about three times before we got
in there.

Hahaha. Sounds familiar. Except that once the route has been recalculated, 
the results are read just as the car has zoomed past that turn, and the 
route has to be recalculated again.

I had this one the other day on my st Louis visit.

Just turning off the interstate, and approaching the first traffic light.

N: Hey, we're early. See if you can find a place to get a cup of coffee.
K: OK.

The button for a POI lookup is hit.
The light changes, and the car takes off.
The POI results are in.
We're two blocks down the road.

N: Boy, the results you got aren't very accurate. All that stuff is way 
behind us.
K: Next time you ask me for a look up. stay still long enough to find out.
