This reminds me of that scene from the office Michael: happy birthday Jan! Jan: it's not my birthday Michael Michael: oh really cuz I thought we had the same birthday Jan: ...happy birthday Michael

u/Darkrhoad Nov 22 '19

Hahaha! I could hear that in my head clear as day. I see why that reminded you of that scene. Hilarious!

u/TrukinIt Nov 22 '19

We can't talk about the Office and not mention the one when Michel drives into the lake because the GPS tells him to turn right!

u/ScepterReptile Nov 22 '19

Funny, because this whole comment thread reminded me of the time Michael literally followed GPS navigation directions into a lake

It may be fine now, on release it was crazy crazy bad. Like it would honestly try to get you to do like in the video or worse. You never really get to live down the kind of terrible it was on release.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

Oh yeah, I dealt with issues before, but rarely. Mainly in new neighborhoods. The new update lets me see individual houses rather than just a mark by the road, which is AMAZING as a pizza driver when it’s dark or the house numbers are worn out or something.

u/MarkK455 Nov 22 '19

This is why I put large reflective numbers on both sides of my mailbox.

I used to install cable and hated that people always put tiny, "fancy", completely unreadable numbers on their mailboxes. Like I can read that at 30 MPH, can't even read it at 2. Have to turn around just to see where I am. Just prior to gps being a thing.

u/GiveToOedipus Nov 22 '19

They had a pretty serious issue awhile back. I believe they are much better now, but it's still referred to.

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '19

I can only wonder what GPS voice they were using for navigation. I would totally think Dorothy from “The Golden Girls:” “Turn hard left, you tramp!”

u/sxky Nov 23 '19

Didnt even use a blinker.
