Second day out on the road and a few miles to cover but I was wanting to do a couple of touristy stops. I must admit I was confused how to tackle today’s inktober prompt Confused. The activities of the day soon fixed that. Somewhat unusually for me I wasn’t travelling with maps I had looked the follow trip on Google Maps at home and was pretty comfortable with the best way to go.
I had even downloaded the instructions from the computer to
my phone. However, and is a big HOWEVER, I have become used to Google Maps work in its
browser. Instead it converted straight away, saying to had use its app it’s Google Maps App on my phone. It didn’t look at the directions I’d prepared and started again from where I was at, my current location. The Sad part is that the Google Maps App on Android phones is really
hopeless in rural Victoria. It gives very strange directions with road names
that don’t seem to exist. Even though it had point tabs for two lookouts I
wanted to visit, the instructions led me to the wrong locations. OK in one area
there was new road works but I doubt that is the full explanation.
So I gave up, didn't visit the lookouts and now I’m
just following road signs for the place names I recognise.
