In a recent podcast, the host discusses the use of GPS apps for travel and specifically mentions IRA GPS. While the IRA GPS app has its advantages, such as the ability to use the camera to read street signs and addresses, the host believes it is not the best option. The host shares a personal experience where following IRA's directions would have led them to the middle of a freeway due to the unreliability of GPS in certain terrains, such as hilly areas or areas with buildings and foliage. The host emphasizes that GPS is not always reliable and suggests using alternative methods, such as an old-fashioned compass, to navigate in other countries. However, the host praises the accuracy of the Ariadne GPS app, which allows them to control the frequency and distance of information updates, making it a reliable choice for tracking their location on a bus. Overall, the host recommends using different GPS apps based on various factors such as location, weather conditions, and other variables.
