14 'GPS fails' that will leave you in stitches

GPS is one of the marvels of modern technology and we've been taught that technology can never be wrong. Apparently, it is. Every time the GPS recalculates its algorithms to direct you to crash into a boulder, it is proof that technology is not infallible.

GPS is usually like a trusty co-pilot, the all-knowing oracle you can depend on. But when it goes wrong, it does horribly so. Whether it's directing you into a pond or insisting you U-turn into a cactus, GPS fails are the universe's way of reminding us that robots might already be plotting their revenge.

Picture this: you're driving using the GPS during the day. The GPS then instructs you to turn 'right'. Being an obedient human, you turn right at the GPS's command- straight into a lake! Lesson; Always make use of your eyeballs while driving. There's a reason why 'keep your eyes on the GPS' is not a saying.

So, let's grab our metaphorical maps and dive into the vast territory that is the world of GPS fail memes.

14 GPS fail memes to drive you mad with laughter

---

You have arrived at your destination (via Pinterest / @Florence)

Yes, I have reached my destination, if the destination was the top of a cliff.

---

I think my GPS doesn't like me (via Pinterest / @Hurryet Aygun)

GPS always keeps directing us into these situations, guess it's trying to see how much my car can take before it calls it a day as well.

---

When you miss the exit ( via X / @invis4yo)

At this point, we're basically on a road trip to nowhere with a slight detour to panic!

---

When the GPS keeps saying "Head North" (via X / @AwkwardInstance)

I've been heading north for 4982475 miles now. The North Pole must be near. Oh, maybe I'll ask the reindeer for directions, they seem like friendly creatures!

---

When I think I can drive somewhere without the GPS (via X / @jWill_0340)

GPS is not all doom and gloom. The GPS does come in handy sometimes, would you believe that?

---

GPS Robber edition (via Pinterest/ @Mary Evans)

Oh, the poor robber! He's about to enter into a world of pain, which he doesn't know about yet. We all know how this ends.

---

The GPS telling him (via X / @sapphicdiluc2)

Not even superpowers can help you navigate the traffic in LA. At some point, even Ironman might feel the need for GPS.

---

My ancestors watching me use the GPS (via Pinterest / @Dawn)

If "This isn't what we fought wars and battles over" had a face....

---

When someone gives you directions (via Pinterest / @Amber Gardner)

Well, this is to be expected of Patrick. He has no sense of direction, he could get lost in a straight line.

---

When the GPS gives me 3 different routes (via Pinterest / @SimpleTire)

Having a tough time deciding between the rugged or the scenic terrain. The only thing that is certain is I'm going to end up in Alaska somehow.

---

But dear, the GPS says we're doing fine (via Pinterest / @Precision Social Media Consultancy)

The modern equivalent of "How did the elephant end up on the tree?"

---

Estimated time of arrival (via Pinterest / @subaruchick2016)

In the race of trying to outrun my bad decisions, I ended up making another one. Apparently, speeding tickets are the new prizes for trying!

---

When you can't afford a GPS (via Pinterest / @Bolo Yong)

Close enough. We wouldn't know the difference anyway.

---

A little embarrassed (via Pinterest / @PartsAvatar Canada)

Was the destination 'Swimming Lessons?'

At the end of the day, GPS is a wonderful invention- when it works. And then it doesn't. That's when the GPS fail memes come alive, a hilarious token of relatibility and universality. So the next time you get thrown off course due to a GPS fail, remember: the internet is laughing with you.

GPS fail memes are the therapy we never knew we needed. They remind us that technology is just as messy as we are- and that getting lost is funnier with a side of existential dread. Just remember to keep all your senses, wits, and a nap with you so are prepared to break the cycle the next time this happens to you!
