    I’ve replaced Google Maps with a physical Garmin navigation device in my car, as part of an intentional “deGoogling” of my life.

    At first switching to a Garmin felt like I had become my grandfather.

    But now that I’ve had it for awhile, I could never go back to Google Maps, anyway.

    • Garmin’s interface is much nicer, to me, in a bunch of subtle ways that add up.
    • I appreciate just saying “is it in the Garmin?” Instead of asking my SO to text me an address for the kids random event.
    • I particularly love my Garmin’s ability to predict which lane I need when driving a big city highway.

    The feature of Google I miss is “there’s an accident on the road ahead” which my Garmin cannot do because it is not constantly online.

    Source: my personal experience. I’m not sponsored by Garmin. But if Garmin wants to send me free stuff they should let me know.
