GPS In Mexico City

It really works and quite well. I worked there over the weekend and we used a GPS, Google Maps, and Waze. All three were right on.

From the airport to the hotel, the hotel to the event on Saturday, and then back to the airport. Times were right on also.

I thought it was interesting.
  • Not a car a big RV they can get stuck real quick in places trying to get to places, GPS instructions are notorious for taking the shortest route, and those some times are not meant to be driven even by cars, just letting people that use this devices that caution should be exercised and not rely on them as a given.

    Common sense is thrown out the window when they get and use one and use it blindly.

    What does that have to do with driving a car in Mexico City???
