I want to use Google Maps less but because it tracks everyone it can suggest different routes home due to traffic. I just had the most arse drive back from a field day because I used OpenStreetMaps instead. I knew going onto the ring road and off again would suck, but i didn't know where to turn off to avoid it like driving there
I can't do google maps. Garmin GPS all the way. The way she says Geelong Road cracks me up. Long live the Melways.
Ps. The ring road doesn't faze me. I know it inside out.
