Might I suggest you make a recommendation regarding the Google Maps conditions here.
https://www.google.com/mapmaker
Enter the country / city and the details you know are wrong.
It's everywhere, it's the decision making of their GPS that is primarily what is wrong.
That's hard to do in the dark, it's not like I can look at the map, my wife has to navigate and she can't read maps so she doesn't tell me when Google has gone nuts. I'm to the point that I won't let her turn it on because she tends to think that the GPS might be useful and it's worse than not having it at this point.
You should be teaching your wife (and kids) how to read maps! Lol.
Good luck. My wife can't tell right from left (I'm serious, she will tell you) and even if she could read the map (never going to happen, she just can't see it) she can't relay directions as she can't handle right/left or NSEW directions.
I have this issue too... I can generally find my way around a town/city that I've been in a few times before. But reading a map is damn near impossible.
I'm TRYING to train my wife to keep useful information up on the screen and show it to me quickly when at intersections or whatever. I can normally read a map and memorize what I need in a second or two, literally. But Google Maps refuses to show scale which makes gauging distances very hard. but other than that, two seconds looking at a map is more useful that GPS or her trying to tell me what it says.

In that case, she can ride in the back seat while one of your kids rides in the front and tells you where to go, lol.
Motion sickness. I can't win.
Just give up and pre-order you a Google Flymaster 3000. It will fly you anywhere you want to go, by itself, and stop you at random business that pay Google for "Ad Time"

OMG, speaking of Google Ads.... we've been to five Islamic countries recently and our targetted ads are now offering services for converting to Islam.

This might be my best post of all time...

I'm pretty sure that I just wrote the plot of a new Dr. Who episode.

And the other guy is sitting there going... wat? (Unless they are also a Dr. Who fan, lol)

Is that a Dr Who reference or a Galaxy Quest one?

Galaxy Quest is an amazing movie. RIP Alan Rickman

I've had some good results with Kyocera printers, much to my surprise.

A lot of other big companies like HP lease the right to manufacture Canon's motors etc because they are that good.

I've had luck with Kyocera, HP, Canon and Oki in the past...Xerox have been a constant stream of headaches with driver issues, port issues, parts being shit....

My Canon experiences, while very limited, have been so bad I'd never do business with them. We literally drove over one of their printers one time, we hated them so much.

I have had nothing but good experiences with them. I also worked with their techs at my last job and we have a lot of mutual respect for each other.

I've had bad experiences with every brand of printer they are all mass produced garbage now.
