Both my 4wds quite often have their GPS routes queried/altered/negated by a similar, 'Override Function', which is activated by a certain pressure on the left seat.

My wife and I call our car GPS “Lady Map” - she frequently can’t navigate.

Back in 60's - 70's if you were going on a road trip the RACQ would supply you with strip maps so if you were going from Brisbane to Cairns each page would cover between major towns so Brisbane to Gympie , Gympie to Maryborough & so on.

Up until we bought our now car that has a built in GPS I used a RACQ Australian Street Atlas to find my way to all parts of Qld with work .

I tend to think of the arguing and ignoring the GPS Lady as practice for marriage.
