    A trick to “learn” routes… put the GPS in your pocket, and only listen to it… this way you start to spot the landmarks we used to use to navigate by.

        Fun fact: If you use Google Maps, and press on the arrow (while the navigation is started), you can change the arrow to 3 different cars.

          I hate this because I accidentally tap the arrow even when I am not pressing on it. For example, when I want to select a different route, I try to tap the gray alternate route because it is efficient for EV energy(mostly not highway), and the menu pops up for selecting vehicles. I don’t think that is a good place for it to be. It is distracting and could be in the settings. Most don’t even know it is there until it is accidentally pressed and cause the driver to become distracted.
