I'm driving a GM car this week, and so I used the OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation system to find a destination. I'm guessing all the Canadian operators were busy, because I got through to someone with a strong Southern accent.
I wanted to go to Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario. After I told her how to spell Barrie, she searched and couldn't find the street address, so I suggested she plug in the name of the college. Success, and my directions were downloaded ...
... except that instead of going to Georgian College, I got sent to Georgina Street, in a subdivision on the other side of town. When another operator finally got me going in the right direction, I was late for my appointment. This newest generation of OnStar is a lot better than the old one (which couldn't find my house, even though it hasn't moved in the last 60-plus years) but it still isn't always perfect. Paper maps still rule.
