A new update to the Maps application provided on Apple iOS devices will see the navigation system admitting when it’s completely lost its way, sources confirm.
“In point five miles… uh… look, I don’t know where the hell we are, I’m sorry,” said the robotic voice of the GPS on display at a recent auto expo. “I was hoping if I got you into the neighborhood you’d know what to do from there. I think I see a Sunoco up there in point two miles, on the right. Would you like to stop there and ask for directions?”
The GPS was lauded for its honesty.
“My god, this is going to change the whole GPS game,” said Marie Volmer, a technology writer in attendance at the showcase. “I can’t believe it’s going to start being honest about when it’s told you to take a completely absurd route. This is fantastic. The only thing that could make it better is if it just, you know, worked like it was supposed to. But one step at a time, I guess.”
As of press time, the new GPS also admitted it was completely making up the ETA it told you when you left, and hopes that’s not a problem.
Does this come with the NEW & IMPROVED: “I KNOW where I’M going, since you clearly don’t” marital conversation starter and ender kit?
My GPS sent us to a dead end dirt road in an attempt to get us to Red Lobster. And this was in Omaha
This is nothing new for me. GPS Has been on a trip for years. Luckily since i’m ex military i don’t need them.
Clearly, the programmers were Republicans. Democrats can never tell the truth.
