Whether you’re on a road trip or just driving to a less familiar part of town, navigation systems can be a huge help. But that doesn’t mean the GPS experience is always perfect.

(We should add that following the GPS too closely can be dangerous ― keep an eye on the road.)

It would really help me if GPS voice navigation would throw in "you're doing great" once in a while between directions.
