Give a story about how your GPS or Navigation system put you in a fukked up situation

[OaklandCertified]

I remember i was in San Jose visiting my cousin a couple years back. (Everyone in the Bay Area knows that San Jo has some dimes out there) He told me some chicks he knew from San Jose state had invited him to a party. So later that night we put on our best fits, jump in the whip and start on our way. None of us knew our way around that area so my cousin whips out his HTC Hero like "I can get us there with this". He enters the address and we follow the route. After a while i start noticing that we keep getting farther and farther from the city. I mention it to my cousin and he's like "nah, we good. This shyt is accurate, trust me" i ijust lean back in my seat and listen to the music and let the GPS guide us. This nikka started driving on a dark ass road that had barbed wire fences on both sides. I told him to turn around, and he was like "the GPS says its this way" he kept driving.. then it got pitch black then boom! He ran into a big ass gate that said "turn back unauthorized persons will be shot!" We seen some headlights come on and they started coming towards us. My cousin smashed on the gas and we were outta there!

Roughly the same area. Around 2007/2008 I went to a Murs concert at the catalyst in Santa Cruz. This was in my smoking days when I blazed like an arsonist. Rolled like 2 blunts, and my mans matched me. I had one of those primitive GPS joints at the time. We drove from Hayward, and it got us there just fine, but started fukkin up on the way back in the middle of the night. In addition, my automatic window wouldnt roll up, so Im driving around lost as sht, freezin my nuts off like Cuba Gooding in snow dogs. I was high as fukk, and I kept screaming that if somethin bad happened I was gunna sue the sht sht out of that bytch ass GPS company. Visibility was bytch black. Ended up driving around to nowhere in particular, with a blanket wrapped around me flapping around like Aladdin. Parked, and had a horrible night sleeping in the car before finding our way back home in the morning.

Back in 2009 I was heading to Atlanta, Georgia to visit my grandparents at the time. I had just got this new GPS installed into my truck and lemme tell you young bloods something, I was pysched to see if this modern technology actually works. So basically I'm heading down the interstate blasting some of that new ASAP Rocky that just dropped and I looked out to the side of my mirror and that shyt said "Welcome to India"

At this point I'm worried sick cuz I had never been to India before and I wanted to get back to America pronto. So I pull over into some grass to readjust my GPS system and when I did I accidentally hit it on my driving wheel. For some reason the back of if crumbled off and that shyt didn't work anymore. I've been living in India going on 5 years now pretty much.

That shyt happened to me. Forced me to pay that $13 toll booth in the GWB.

Most of these stories took place around 2006-2010. When the first generation GPS was outside of basic directions.

San Francisco got so many bull shyt freeways and one way streets I get mad at my GPS at least a few times a year

"turn left at the intersection" THERES NO LEFT bytch

driving from Daly City to Oakland to get on bay bridge but type in 280 route to go through the city instead of 101 to i80 and watch the fukk shyt that happens

shyt will have you in at least 2 dead ends (one in the Alemany Projects ) then another one in some neighborhood thats just a fukking end of a block but you can see the free way from it, but the GPS thinks its a fukking entrance to the freeway

this is using iphone

back in the day, them GPS systems was

especially when the software was outta date and they charged you to update.

it'd be like "turn at the next light" and it'd be nothing but a building and no streets, getting the street names wrong and wanting me to make illegal turns and shyt.

I swear one time I was on the bridge and the damn thing told me to make a left... not take an exit or anything logical, nah she said turn left on a muthafukkin' bridge into the ocean.
