We Call Her "Miss Direction"

Most people have a Global Positioning System (GPS) of some sort available for navigation these days.  In our case, we rarely take off and just "drive" as we seldom know exactly where we are going without a little help from Miss Direction.  Today, I went to the laundromat - I needed GPS help to get there.  When we are in need of groceries, again, we need the GPS unit to help us out. 

When we are towing our house in an area where we have never been, as is usually the case, it is not helpful to hear, "when possible, make a U-turn." When towing our house - it will NEVER be possible.  Other times, we find Miss Direction somewhat frustrating when she says, "recalculating," which  may not happen in a timely manner for the driver, who is hauling an RV, to make the necessary adjustments.  We have found ourselves rolling along city streets when clearly we should be traveling on the freeway.  There are times when it is indeed operator error causing Miss Direction to sound positively exasperated when she says, "turn left in 300 feet." It is rarely possible to make the required lane changes in order for that to happen.  And once you have missed a turn, all bets are off.

I find that yelling and threatening to throw Miss Direction out the window does not change her attitude or improve her performance, but I do feel better.
