When I was frustrated & searching for a hotel in busy Modica in Sicily, it told me to turn right - down an alleyway with 50 ft of stairs. I didn't turn. In Siracusa, it led me down a narrow car-lined one way street that ended in an impassable narrow alley. My destination was at the other end. I had to back up & that was not fun. And it sometimes likes to take the shortest route, even if that means a single lane dirt road in the forest . . .

I learned to check the suggested route before I set out.
