I Don't Trust You Anymore, Heidi

I enjoy having a GPS device. It’s helpful when you don’t know where you’re going, but what do you do when your GPS device is lost as well?

My GPS device has a girl’s voice, ergo I named her Heidi. The other day, I went cake-tasting in Livermore with my fiance. On our way back home, I couldn’t remember how to get back to the freeway, so I busted out Heidi, and asked for help. What ensued was a 25 minute goose chase of Heidi leading me through back roads and Heidi getting constantly confused about where she was going. Eventually the two of us fumbled our way back onto a freeway and made it home safely (mostly because I stopped listening to what the GPS was saying).

All in all, I think I’m going to be less blindly trustful of the GPS machine.
