      When you are in unfamiliar territory do you use Google maps to get directions?

      Have you ever gotten off the interstate or been outside of a city? This wasn’t a rare behavior that only occurred on a “wildlife trek”(whatever that is)

        If I miss an exit and end up in a barren waste land instead of somewhere inside a city because of google maps my first instinct would be to turn off google maps and make a U-turn. No continue to drive past civilization.

          Yes we understand but the scenario we’re talking about is when people are literally navigating already out in the middle of nowhere. GPS navigation gets sketchy out there. Sometimes reliable but not always.
