Why does my GPS take me totally different directions on the way to and from a place?
September 12th, 2005 by Portable GPS Systemladylion215 asked:
For example, I went on a job interview that was an hour away today and the directions the GPS gave me for the way there and the way home were completely different. Also, I have used my GPS to go to a friend’s new house a few times, each time leaving from my house, and the GPS took me a different route every time. This doesn’t make sense to me. I also feel like it takes me a very round-about way sometimes instead of sending me on the quickest way. Why is this?
It’s a Garmin Nuvi.
