One time driving the work van home with boomer peer in passenger seat

>Anon you can drive i want to relax
>ok fatass
>turn on GPS
>come to first roundabout
>anon go left here
>google maps says straight on
>get closer
>ANON GO LEFT
>FORGET WHAT THAT CRAP SAYS GO LEFT GO LEFT REEEEEEEE
>retard starts jabbing at my side turning into punches
>what the fuck is your problem you wanted me to drive google says this fucking way is the fastest route traffic included
>starts angrily muttering "that thing doesn't know"
>i ask what
>dead silent all the way home

God boomers can be such fucking stupid whiney faggots sometimes.

Imagine using gps to drive inna city.
Like just look up a route before hand you dumbass.

When my parents died I had to drive to Frankfurt to meet someone my dad used to do business with. I took my uncle with me and despite him never setting foot in Germany before he insisted he knew where he was going (from the passenger seat) and shouted at me all the way to Frankfurt because I had the audacity to use the GPS and not rely on his boomer knowledge of the European motorway network

>>28824940
Inferiority complex. They can't resist telling people how to do something they have no clue or business with.

>>28824901
>Anon you can drive i want to relax
*proceeds to be opinionated and histrionic on how you drive*
>>28824120
My in-laws have the opposite problem. They use a standalone GPS to go everywhere and have no sense of direction without it. And categorically refuse to use their phones as an alternative. So we always have to text them the full address for things so they can manually type it into their GPS device.

Few years some anon posted a story about a co-worker that uses his satnav for his commute to work and back
Not sure if I should believe it or not, but it stuck with me

>>28825001
I sometimes fire up the nav to check and avoid traffic

>>28824994
>*proceeds to be opinionated and histrionic on how you drive*

right!? Thats what pissed me off the most. When im in the passenger seat i dont give a flying fuck.

maybe he was just lonely and wanted to hear something talking to him?

Why are millennials like this?
In one sentence you're like, "those retarded boomers not adapting to new technology" and the next sentence it's "those retarded zoomers too reliant on new technology"
Why do you think you're such a special snowflake?

>>28825131
>a directory of great kid-places
>the norton simon museum
that place bored me to death as a kid. what are they thinking?

>>28825134
Because every generation has a huge chunk of people who think they're a special snowflake. Only a matter of time until you see some zoomers think they know better than gen alpha.

How daft are you? I use GPS even when I know where I'm going to avoid traffic and other bullshit happening.

>What the Hell is a "MAP?"
>Wait, I recognize this... it's the same thing I've seen on the dashboard of my truck! Why is it made out of paper?
>Hang on...
>...wait, how the FUCK am I supposed to know WHERE I AM!?!?!?
>There's no "dot" that shows were I am on this map! I can't tell where I am! Where to turn! How far!
>What the fuck; this is POINTLESS!!!
Most people, throughout history, cannot
● read
● infer

>>28825001
Huh? Is "satnav" just gps? Why wouldn't someone do this?

>>28825216
Was this written by a boomer? GPS devices work the exact same as paper maps.

>>28825265
How does a "paper" map illuminate a cardinal-direction dot on the page, in motion, which simultaneously indicates exactly where you (the reader) are on the paper map?

(It doesn't)

>>28825298
Go to maps.google.com and it looks the same as any paper map. Same orientation, same street patterns and designs. Yes, it has extra features like search and will have you as a dot on the map, but using it like a paper map where you can look at roads and street names is the same. It's like the difference between Wikipedia vs encyclopedia books.

>>28825001
I use Google Maps every time on my commute, it's how I find out if I gotta make a detour because of congestion, road closure, etc.

>>28825001
Are you stupid? I use waze for my commute without fail. It tells me if there's a jam and will detour me to the fastest rout PLUS it gives police alerts.

>>28825327
disingenuous faggot. you know that those "extra features" allow you to completely bypass knowing how to read a map. type in the address you want to go to and it will literally speak turn by turn directions to you. no finding locations, no navigating, no nothing.

>>28825359
Bro, it's the same shit. If someone was forced to use paper maps, who had used google maps, they could easily figure out how to get from one city to another. Anyway, back in the day if you told someone you lived "123 X street", they wouldn't be able to find it on a map. You would have to say "starting at the zoo, 5 blocks along A st, then left on B st and go 3 blocks". Everyone would always ask for directions from people how to get somewhere, all the time.

You...
...don't actually think that, do you?

If you handed your co-worker a "Baltimore, Maryland City Map," you're willing to bet your life that they could "figure it out" while they sat in the passenger seat while you drove on its highway?

Wait.
Wait, sorry.
I didn't mean to ask you another question. You've proven you refuse to respond to with answers (probably because you're frightened), and instead create a strawman and make a casual, insulting remark.
Never mind. Have a nice drive.

That's not how paper maps are used. Before a trip, you would spend some time studying the map. And you wouldn't do exact directions, but more general. And people got lost all the time. Many times you would plan to ask local people.

I'm not sure what you're imagining hot paper maps are used, but they were not used like a GPS maps today..

Bro, it's the same sh-...ut up.

>>28825476
Reading the maps is the same shit, giving a zoomer a paper map and asking them to plan a trip somewhere out of state. They would complain, but they could do it. It's just following the freeways. Also, rarely people used paper maps to travel within the same city. They just asked for directions. You aren't smart because you know how to use a paper map, you're probably dumber since you don't look at maps often. I bet zoomers would be smarter at using paper maps since they look at maps way more often these days.

>Maps are designed with the same outcome in mind.
You're right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>Paper maps and GPS global-positioning systems that track your specific coordinates, in real-time, as you travel across the Earth's surface are TOTALLY THE SAME!
>ANYONE knows how to use ANY paper map!
No, they aren't and they don't.

You are vastly over-estimating a modern driver's intelligence with a format of direction they've never been exposed to.
Next, you'll tell me you can sail across the ocean using a paper map, right? Same as a GPS, right?

It's rhetorical; bye-bye.

I hope you're baiting.

Zoomers would have better directionality using a paper map than the average person in the 1980s and 90s using a paper map.

I was in the car with an elderly member of my family in a city that he has lived in for over 50 years, we were going somewhere and I was unsure about the route we were taking, I pulled out my phone, put the address in Maps and were going in literally the opposite direction

>>28824120
There are cities still where if you know local ways you will beat GPS because the GPS will never take the routes you do, and no amount of big data can fix it. In my shitty (Seattle) the roads are tiny and there's only a handful of through roads in the city, if you happen to know the neighborhood routes you can beat times frequently by 10-20 minutes, but they also require you to drive enough of the city to know the daily traffic flows. That all being said I still use Gapps to check kroad concentrations when doing my own routes because occasionally some brown or yellow skin crashes and blocks the whole fucking road.

>>28825461
Lol when I was a kid my brother and I took a wrong turn on the route from SoMD to Baltimore and ended up on local routes with no smartphone or GPS. I simply pulled out the map checked our road and a cross street and looked for the town on the map. Within 2 minutes while we were driving we found our exact location and knew where to go next.

>>28825424
Buttons aren't actually something humans biologically know about. Same reason you can give a tribe a bottle of coke and they won't know how to open it. That's why baby toys have all those buttons, switches, and pull handles.

>>28824901
Old people are almost universally pathetic retards.

>>28825461
NTA, but can confirm that the anon you're replying to is correct. I worked the front desk at a locksmith shop for two decades, literally every third conversation for twenty years was either me giving people step-by-step directions onnaphone or giving people directions step-by-step in person for how to get from the shop to whever they were trying to go.

>>28825216
You dumbass boomer, the GPS is just a tool. Literally just a modern map. Retards act like zoomers would be utterly lost and despondent without GPS but really I'm looking at road signs 80% of the time and relying on the GPS for the general jist and traffic.

>>28825001
I run waze on my commute because it tells me where the road pirates are hiding

>>28825149
Honestly, Gen Alpha is retarded as shit. Zoomers too. They're not handling school even half as well as our retarded generation, and the zoomers have made it to college while being functionally illiterate. They're demonstrably worse than we were.
