RECALCULATING!
Our readers share their funniest GPS-inspired snafus.
■ I was driving to a hotel to give a presentation. The GPS directed me to exit the freeway and drive for miles on a road that went from tarred to dirt. Eventually I came to a high fence topped with barbed wire and a gate with an armed guard. “I’m guessing that this is not a hotel,” I said to the guard. Shaking his head slowly, he said, “Not unless you’re a guest of the state.” RHONDA GILBERT
■ I was driving down south in an unfamiliar area when my GPS told me to make a right turn. I was on a bridge. ANN CAPPELLO
■ I used my new navigation app to help me find my way to a writers’ conference. After a long drive, I parked my car and, first things first, immediately headed for the crowded restroom. I found a stall and settled in. That’s when a loud, clear voice from my phone announced, “You’ve arrived at your destination!” ANITA MORRISON
