Relationships are great sources of encouragement and empowerment to us.But like bad water, they can also leech our health and wholesomeness, and

in some cases, they can completely destroy our lives.

Is there anyone who can honestly say hes never been

lost? Even the best of us get turned around once in a

while. But now with GPS, MapQuest and the like, getting

lost should be a thing of the past, right? Maybe not;

sometimes the tools we rely on lead us astray.

Once on a road trip with some friends, we wanted to eat

lunch in a town Id driven through several times before. I

remembered seeing a Quiznos, but couldnt rememberexactly where it was. No problem. My friends had GPS!

So we pulled it out, told it we wanted to go to Quiznos,

and started following its directions. Ten minutes later it

gently announced: You have reached your destination.

We looked around and we saw nothing but factories,

so we keep on driving. It seemed irritated with our lack

of direction-following-skills as it politely announced

Recalculating...

On another adventure, a GPS took us on the shortest

route to see the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. We gured

the arch was downtown, so we just told it to take

us to St. Louis. After a while we realized somethingwas wrong, but we continued to follow the directions.

Eventually we arrived at our destination. Apparently,

we had arrived at the geographical center of St. Louis,

which happened to be in the slums. A more reliable way

to nd the Arch would have been to look and head in the

general direction of the towering landmark.

And GPS isnt the only fallible technology. Have you

ever gotten bum directions from MapQuest or Google?

A friend of mine used MapQuest to nd the airport in

Northwest Arkansas and was directed down two miles of

dirt road and across a one-lane bridge. Experiences likethese can tempt us to give up on modern amenities and

go back to a reliable hard copy map.

Although online directions and GPSs can be very

handy, they do have their limitations. Sometimes,

information can be wrong or out of date. Or we can

easily input the wrong destination. Although GPSs

come with benecial information such as the locations of

businesses, these can change fairly quickly. The routes

they recommend might not hold up to common sense.

And the devices often dont take into account things like

trafc conditions and road construction projects. The

same is true for paper maps, but since they dont have

as much information, they arent out of date as quickly

whens the last time you heard of an interstate getting

shut down for good?

Avoid being late or lost by combining two navigationmediums and dont forget to apply common sense. I try

to determine which highways to take ahead of time and

make a simple list of the interchanges. MapQuest and

other step-by-step directions can be overly complex.

Usually we only need to take a handful of highways that

can easily be remembered or written down.

I always try to keep paper maps on hand as a back-up.

Do you have a map in your car of your city or county?

Often phone books have them in the center. This year

when you get your new phone book, instead of throwing

away the old one, put it under the drivers seat of your

car. If youre travelling between states, stretch yourlegs at the rst welcome center/rest stop when you

enter a new state. Many states provide free maps at

their welcome centers. But that wont do you much

good if you need directions to a specic place within

a city. This is where the various online map services

earn their money. Those turn-by-turn directions to our

nal destination can sure come in handywhen theyre

correct. Back up these directions with a phone number

for your destination, so if you get lost, you can call and

have someone at your destination talk you in the rest of

the way. Visiting the boonies where you might not get

cell phone service? Then be sure to conrm the onlinedirections with someone at your nal destination before

you leave home.

Mapping technologies are cool and convenient, but

dont rely on them as your only recourse or you may

nd yourself in a 2001 Space Odyssey moment, Hal. As

always, a little preparation and common sense can go

a long way in helping to make smart navigation choices

while on a trip.
