(65,580 posts)..i would host major customer visits to the huge production site here in Illinois.
On multiple occasions, people got hopelessly lost following GPS, because it referenced roads with old names (though the "new" name was 20 years old) l, roads that deadended due to warehouse development years before, etc.
I talked people in over the phone a dozen times, and took my car to get to an easily located place and have them follow me. Mind you, they were looking for a 130 acre site with 300 acres of buffer land. One literally couldn't miss it. And, it's not the middle of nowhere. It's 45 miles from downtown Chicago.
We evetually started including directions in the visit confirmation with a note at the top, i bold/all caps "DO NOT FOLLOW GPS DIRECTIONS!"
Obviously, i agree with your assessment m
