    Except sometimes it pays off massively.

    I had accidentally left the voice on for some reason, back when Google Maps’ navigation was fairly new here in New Zealand. Back then it wasn’t the easiest thing to turn off without pulling over and stabbing a bunch of buttons, so I left it.

    Approaching a large intersection, it seemed it was taking the words on the street signs somewhat literally, as it told me

    Signs for State Highway one-half

    Indeed, the sign did appear to read “SH1/2”.
