Back in the '90s when I was flying helicopters in Alaska we had basic GPS. Point a to b type. It was useful when you didn't have low lying clouds and a mountain between you and your destination. It is amazing how much fuel you can waste going in a big arc trying to not run into the mountain.
On the ground, my current TV has the OEM GPS and I think it is possessed by evil navigators. Haven't really used it for years but when I have it will have me try and turn into the Jersey barriers between interstate lanes, turn into farmer's fields and such...
Worst part is having the voice turned on for navigation directions. Nothing like being nagged to make a wrong turn and them make a U-turn to get back to the wrong place.
Learned a long time ago, plan a map route first then compare with GPS. My system also has the ability to pre-drive/navigate the route which kind of helps.
