We had an appointment tonight with a photographer. We were meeting at a sunflower field near a nature reserve. F*#king Google Maps brought us to

a rock quarry/industrial area instead.

We put in an address we knew was close to the sunflower field. It brought us to someone's house 5 minutes away.

By the time we found the field (15 minutes away!), the photographer was gone.

This is why I'm Team Waze.

I'm always getting on to my friend about trusting Google Maps completely. Instead, she stopped telling me all the places it keeps sending her. -- nm - Qale Jul 9, 19:59 1

no one thought "Hey, let's text the photographer and tell them we're lost and to wait?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 19:15 3
- We called multiple times but had trouble getting a call to go through. I did eventually get through and left a voicemail. - kelly Jul 9, 19:23
