Apple Maps, probably.

 

I like Apple more than Google Maps. I've been using Google a lot more since the truck's infotainment has it built in, and it's just not as intuitive, seems to run slower than Maps on Carplay.

I’m so used to using my phone via Bluetooth I don’t turn anything else on.

Love Waze most of the time, my issue with it in low traffic areas it will not give the same route two times in a row??  To west from my house, I can go two different ways, one is shorter distance but time wise can be longer the other is 5 miles longer but can be 10-15 minutes faster.  My is set to fastest route but everyother time it takes me the longer time way???

Both my navigation apps on my iPhone vary my route to my mother’s house. It’s traffic depending. My last trip home a 7 hour drive from my favorite casino had my arrival 2 hours more than usual. It’s was for a delay that was 5 hours away. Two hours later it was back to normal before I got to the area. I use navigation for most of my driving even short distance. It has little to do if I know the way. There’s usually several ways to my destination and traffic has gotten heavier with all the migration here.

Exactly, I know the route, it's if there is traffic congestion that I'm not aware of and Waze has steered me clear of it several times.

My mother lives 1/2 hour from my church. One Sunday we got held up on I-45 two hours because of a wreck. There was at least 5 different ways I could have gone. I now punch my destination before I walk out the door even to go across town. Most days as soon as my phone connects to Bluetooth. My phone tells me the best route even without me using the phone app. I’m that predictable most days.

Google and Apple do likewise. Both tend to push the alternate route, which may simply be get on the access road for a few miles and then hop back on. Then you find out the slow down is now being caused by all the merging traffic from your position. 

 

I tried Waze yesterday. It couldn't get me out of my neighborhood without taking me south out of my driveway, making multiple stops and turns, ultimately reaching the Interstate I wanted. Maybe 2 miles. Or I can simply leave my driveway turning left (north), drive 5 blocks to a major thoroughfare that takes me directly to the Interstate. About 1 mile.

 

Maybe it's better over the road than in town? It's showing some odd ways to get to certain locations in my town

 

Kinda crazy

I use waze for traffic and alerts.  Gmaps for navigation since I hate how waze usually routes things.  I still find it funny that google bought waze years ago, yet they still route things differently for the same destination.  Last I knew gmaps got the alerts from waze users too.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
