How you know the route seem longer if you never go the place before? How to estimate discount amt?

Choose shorter distance instead of fastest route in the GPS seems like better?

Why not just input the destination in GPS and start, instead of going into highway? I think also can input highway name and go into highway.

Sometime, I try not to rely on GPS too much then can remember the route better..esp those I hamtum by myself, I can remember..those just key into GPS..even thou go 2 or 3 times, still need to use GPS and ask pax.

For discount, I just give a $ or 2$ or round down the cent....few cent or a $ dun really matter but if really go long way..pax usually happy that you admit it and if you did not go long way..pax keep quiet, they also leave the cab happy.

wah. your learning curve seems to be very steep leh.

i always use GPS.....but seldom need to give discounts leh.....

i always check with pax if they want short with lots of traffic lights or longer, smooth flow.

most actually wanted longer/smooth one.....

I slow learner + road idiot + I used to cycle a lot so a lot of routing are cycling route and they dun work for driving..

I not cyclist who hog road hor.....I siam vehicle and keep left and dun run red light one.

So every trip you reselect GPS shorter distance or faster time according to the pax? Reselect every trip seems quite waste time on GPS before start moving.

try to not use GPS all the time ba ... not really good to improve road knowledge...

Usually when I not sure of location, i use GPS to pin point the destination then agar agar drive there.

by default, gps is set to fastest route.

i always look at the route summary view and use it to try to make the route more direct. some route is obviously much longer than a direct one with lots of traffic lights.... so i will ask the pax lor....

don't set to the fastest route or else even obvious or shortest way,it will go by expressway!one time i took a pax fr vivo going to NTUC INCOME at Bras Basah,the stupid GPS ,go by Alexandra rd to Bt Merah to CTE,exit Clemenceau,go by Penang rd ,Orchard rd then bras basah!kena fcuk by pax!actually should just U turn go by Kg Bahru,Chinatown,Victoria st,Middle rd then down Queen st!

j007 SG

vivo to ntuc bras basah

i think by my knowledge, i go via keppel, into cecil or via aye exit marina south exit, go towards cross st, chinatown, stamford towards selegie and turn into bras basah

Samsun SG

dun follow the gps blindly. it works best with some instinct.

bowah SG

You? you start from penthouse one lah..lols

bowah SG

Vivo to BB, knn use ECP, rocher into Queen can already mah

bowah SG

then after pax dropped, you take yr GPS and fark it lah...knn, give me the wrong route, ccb, i get fcuked by pax, now I fcuk you fcuk you fcuk you...phui x100 times..then later, your GPS apologise to you by giving you a pax immediately, try it.

But the pax destination will be Vivo again.

Perhaps if you are using IOS or Andriod, you may try using apps called "WAZE". The nevigation has high levels of reliability. But you have to set the preference to Shortest Route and not Fastest Route. FaceBook and Google is trying to buy this WAZE for 1 Billion dollars.

bowah SG

I billion to buy a singapore map, that mean, we, the old tds who learned our trade without gps and smartphone will be worth more than that, but knn, how come I everyday only $30 net profit leh...

Ct2220 SG

You? you start from penthouse one lah..lols

Ah Wah you sala again la.

Aku bukan Penthouse la, AKu start from

bowah SG

Lan sai lah,...this type of penthouse lah

foolsh_2000 SG

Samsun SG

only on ios and android devices.
