@stack : "I then gave to unplug and replug it, nearly causing accidents as Google maps simultaneously loses the settings."
In the UK, there are still enough areas with no cell coverage that you'd be nuts to use Google Maps for navigation -- although plenty of people try.
Self-contained automotive GPS units are dirt cheap and work, in my experience, better than anything built into a vehicle, and certainly better than any smartphone app. They generally rely on a smartphone app to get live updates, but that puts you into telemetry territory again, so I don't bother.

Huh? What all this about electric cheerleaders? Where did I put my specs?

Such Ugly Cars — I can't imagine buying a new car. Aside from the stupidity of dozens of computers, cameras that spy on you with a hidden internet connection, they look like total s**t. I was walking the dog today, and every car parked in the street looks like an ugly sneaker. Drives like a car, looks like a sneaker.
