Everyone has a story about when their GPS failed. I was on a weekend fieldtrip with some middle school kids recently. We needed to go to a dollar store for some supplies. "Marge", the navigator on my Droid, took us on a three mile long convoluted cloverleaf to avoid crossing a highway, during which time we passed the store three times. We continued to follow Marge's directions just for the fun of it. The students are still telling the story.
Otherwise, for 99 out of 100 trips, Google Maps navigation has been right on. I continue to use it, but keep that seed of doubt planted.
