I give wrong directions to tourists on purpose if they can’t correctly pronounce the destination.

And here in Cornwall some place names are Celtic rather than standard English.

If you’ve found a clear patch on a busy beach, thank me. And if you’re the unfortunate tourist who never found the beach, thank me.

@darcdragosen it’s a good thing to a have a MAPS app but sometimes that even gets it wrong.

@cherokeepatti i like the old school fold out maps, older the better. on deer hide with only vague directions to go by. .. i don't think direction is that important cause how often have you planned something out step by step and then that plan actually happened??

@darcdragosen yeah I used to use those. Some of the map apps will show you when traffic is congested or blocked and I like that. Paper maps can’t do it. When there’s a bad accident the police will shutdown traffic and drivers have to make detours. It can be dangerous getting lost if you aren’t used to driving in a certain area of a city and have to detour. It happened to an elderly man who was driving to the VA medical center in Oklahoma and he got robbed by intimidation when he stopped to ask for directions. That part of the city is still really bad. They had a shooting at a senior apartment complex this morning and it’s just a few blocks from the OU Medical Center and the VA Hospital.

@cherokeepatti You don't want to be taking a detour in Cornwall lover. Not unless you be ever so good at driving backwards.
