Traveling woes

Don't you just hate it when you're heading somewhere you're totally unfamiliar with, and you're the one holding the GPS, and you type in the name of the place you're going to, and end up in the middle of nowhere because the coordinates (provided by the GPS database) were wrong? And then you'd have to completely backtrack and everyone else traveling with you would give you dirty looks because they thought you can't use an electronic device to save your life -_-'.
