Map App Muddles

Map applications can be a godsend in unfamiliar areas. We relied on one last year when we were driving around France, and will do so this year. However, map apps aren’t perfect. They often don’t warn you about road construction, or they direct you on a bizarre route. They also may not give you an inkling of the direction you’re going.
This morning on my walk to work from the bus stop, I encountered a woman staring at her cell phone ahead of me. Finally she stopped and asked me, “Where is 700 Broadway?” She was walking in the opposite direction from Broadway. Did she not see the street sign because her nose was glued to the phone?
