GPS Is Making Me Dumb

I have GPS, Google Maps, blue lines, red lines, ETA countdowns, the whole car navigation circus on my phone…and I still miss the turn. This little rant is about getting lost with directions, how phone navigation might be making me worse at reading signs, and whether paper maps and actually paying attention were secretly better. If you’ve ever argued with your GPS, second-guessed the “fastest route,” or wondered why you still feel directionally dumb in the age of unlimited navigation apps, this one’s for you. Hit play, laugh at my bad sense of direction, and then check out more travel stories and episodes of Maxwell’s Kitchen Podcast around the site.
