Head South East on blar blar road. I don't frigging know which way South East is - I forgot my trusty compass. The only place I'd know that for would be a place I knew really well and if I was there I wouldn't need Google Maps in the blinking first place. AIBU or is Google maps just shit?

I turn the voice off because it does my head in and confuses me.

It has the little compass right there in the top right?

But I can't look at that when I'm driving

I used to think that too, and then noticed that my car dashboard displays which direction I'm facing. It'll just say SW or S or whatever.

Mine doesn't
