#Garmin map update problems

[walkingslowlytofastmusic]

I'm not a programmer but I have a feeling that things going "app based" or running on Android based platforms is causing way more problems than it solved. I'm told that they're easier to program and write stuff for than more refined purpose built software but this seems to lead to a quality drop across the board. Let me complain about the redundant GPS systems I use in my truck for a minute

The screen on the right is a brand new Rand Mcnally gps. The smaller one on the right is a 4 year old Garmin.

The Garmin is purpose built to be a GPS. I have no idea what it's specs are but they are enough to run the map program and reliably get me where I need to go. If I want to update the map, I plug it into my laptop and download the update. It's pretty simple. If I want it to factor in live traffic data, I can Bluetooth connect it to my phone but that's very much an option and not a requirement.

The Rand Mcnally is an android tablet with a map app that I'm pretty sure you can't get on the app store. The map is pretty good but it crashes more often than I'd like. It also needs a Wi-Fi connection to update the map and get live traffic, meaning that I'll need to leave my phone hotspot on all of the time or buy a separate hotspot and subscription for this thing to work the way I'd like it to.

I'm concerned that the Rand Mcnally isn't going to last as long as I'd like a $400 machine that does one (1) thing to given that it's brand new and already crashes sometimes while in use. I'm not sure if it's the App itself or the trimmed down version of android in the tablet but something isn't right here. The Garmin is slow to type on and the map's aesthetic is a little dated but it works. It actually fucking works. It reliably does what it says on the box and I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to use it indefinitely.

If you really want to get into it, the Qualcomm computer that came with my truck also has a nav system. It's from like 2006 and boy does it feel like it but it also works like new, I just don't have the patience to type addresses into it.

Anyway all of that to say I don't think optimized programming is dead, companies just have to be willing to pay for the development.

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

Precaution is better than cure with Garmin device

It was my 25th birthday , and i was trying to cut off  at least one thing off of my bucket list before turning 25. That is when i came across traveling alone once in my life. I have always been fascinated by that idea, to travel alone and get to know myself a little more. I told my friends about this idea, they have their concerns but they were also supportive. One of my friends gave the garmin device just in case I get lost somewhere, it will bring me back home. And what a coincidence roaming through the outskirts of countryside of Australia and I did got lost , thankfully I had the garmin device with me, which had garmin map upgrade , so, without any fear through garmin connect,

I located my hotel with the help of garmin gps maps. That is the day I realized that exploring new things in your life is the best thing you can gift to yourself , you just have to take care , as   we all know this great saying “ Precaution is better than cure”.

When I got back home , I told my friends about my adventure and my reliability on garmin devices, I was so impressed by the device that I gifted my brother  the same as he is a travel freak. My friend reminded me that the most advantage we can take from garmin devices by Garmin connect mobile , always keeping it updated. So, now i am not at all afraid of getting lost , and I have now the comfort of travelling alone wherever I want. I will give a shout out to all the traveller out there, they should get the garmin device for themselves and their loved ones. And don't forget to get Garmin map upgrade on a regular basis.
