    Sometimes the calibration is off and you’re unsure which direction you’re supposed to go but this happened to me.

    A french lady with some company came up to me and asked for directions to a cinema, so I pointed out the way which was straight ahead for two blocks and then one left, exactly the same route the Google maps she showed me had. And in the correct direction she was facing.

    Like… just follow it man

      In my experience Google maps is frequently wrong about the last 20 meters or so.

      So you’re wandering around the block looking for the entrance

      When the calibration is off, either calibrate it. It takes 2 seconds. Or just walk 5m and see where it goes. Or just read the map as, you know, a map.
