The car was cheaper than a 2015 version with no GPS!

I have had this problem with my phone. I was watching to see what exit I should be off on, and as soon as I passed the exit, the position updated. The next exit was quite a ways further on.

Oh the pain. I live a few minutes from said airport, and with all the construction happening, at this time of day, ouch. Off topic, the signage directing you to the airport leaves a lot to be desired. You shouldn't need GPS once you get within a certain distance from the airport. As far as GPSs go, my cheap-ass Tom Tom, does a resonable job. Good luck to your mother and the new pup!

He's an older dog, likely only has a few years left. He just needs a loving home and a family. His previous owner died earlier this year. His name is Lucky.
He has no teeth (someone kicked him in the mouth - before the previous owner got him) so he needs to eat canned dog food.
He is a very friendly dog and likes everyone.

Sounds like a good dog, who has found a wonderful home.

I don't know, my dog risked the very same - twice - for a shovel hit by my dad... not volountary though! The dog was trying to catch the snow while my dad was cleaning the entryway and jumped on the shovel at the wrong moment. No damage, luckily.

Mine works ok but I tend to use my phone as it appears to be more accurate and they don't ask me for $149 every year for an update.

I probably could write one using OSM data and a cheap GPS dongle that would be more accurate than the built in one.

I use Google map on my S6. It's good so far.

The only issue is that my mom is technology challenged (and directionally challenged and navagationally challenged) and has no idea how to use her phone.
It took me the better part of a year to teach her how to forward emails, and now I had to put all emails from her in a folder as she forwards pretty much everything she gets to me.
She still hasn't figured out how to add attachments to an email. And I have shown her that almost every day for about two years now!

Never used a built-in car GPS before? How frequently the data updated on the car?I suspect it's outdated data issue.

Generally the same as a any portable GPS unit. You just update the flash card on a computer.
(unless some a**hole vehicle manufacturer limits this to the dealer). Most don't.

Tell her to try turning it off and reading the road signs.

In her defense, the signage in and around O'Hare is terrible.

I don't doubt it. That used to be the case with some of our airports but it is much improved nowadays. But the closer you get to the actual Arrivals/Departures the more important it is to know exactly where you are going, and which lane will get you there.

Ugh! The major road going into the airport splits in to arrivals and departures, but doesn't tell you which side is which until you're on top of it (too late in many cases). They are talking of doing some upgrades to the airport, I can only hope better signage is forthcoming.

I just remembered my own experience of this place. Some years ago I had to fly back to London from Denver via O'Hare. So it was a 'domestic' flight Denver to O'Hare, then 'international' from there to London. It took me quite a long time to find a sign inside the airport to get to the correct terminal for the leg home; and I only just made it.

I'm continually amazed at the number of non-english speaking people that successfully navigate their way in there, it's bad enough for us natives! I found my way around the airport in Athens, Greece easier that the one in my own backyard.

TomTom do that too, luckily they have a free subscription with at least 4 maps/year. Still it often miscounts roundabouts exits ("take the 8th exit" ehrrr... there are 5.) or loses its position in the middle of the roundabouts.
In the countryside (which, incidentally, is where I live) it often tells to turn into walls, other houses or non existent roads. Once it had me travelling in deep off-road beceuse once there was a road - I could still see the path - in the dark, while pouring, with a very small economy car. Quite the adventure...

I can see where that would be annoying but... when I use a GPS I don't wait until the voice command tells me to do something before I do it. That's a sure way to cause an accident. On an interstate the GPS usually tells you about your next exit (including exit #) 1-2 miles before you need to make it. Then you ignore the GPS and use the street signs.

As said above, my mom cannot navigate without the GPS telling her what to do.
I don't use it. I use maps and memorize the route.
