For long distance journeys through unknown roads I use GPS navigation software running on old Pocket PC. Directions given by automate navigator are so precise that you can drive all way even without looking at road signs. And this is the worst part.
At the beginning I felt very confident. When navigation was turned on my natural navigation skills gone away. It felt like some kind of brain damage effect. Part of my thinking was turned off in exchange for blindly listening to navigator instructions. Imagine what is going on when map is not actual or has some glitches. "where is that road it is talking about?". The result is often big surprise and embarrassment.
Its scarry when machine can make you fool and put into potentially dangerous situation on the road. After that experiences I always check my route on map before journey, observe road signs, and listen to navigator as the last resort to ensure that I am right.
I feel much better that way.
