Generally the same as a any portable GPS unit. You just update the flash card on a computer.
(unless some a**hole vehicle manufacturer limits this to the dealer). Most don't.

In her defense, the signage in and around O'Hare is terrible.

I don't doubt it. That used to be the case with some of our airports but it is much improved nowadays. But the closer you get to the actual Arrivals/Departures the more important it is to know exactly where you are going, and which lane will get you there.

Ugh! The major road going into the airport splits in to arrivals and departures, but doesn't tell you which side is which until you're on top of it (too late in many cases). They are talking of doing some upgrades to the airport, I can only hope better signage is forthcoming.

I just remembered my own experience of this place. Some years ago I had to fly back to London from Denver via O'Hare. So it was a 'domestic' flight Denver to O'Hare, then 'international' from there to London. It took me quite a long time to find a sign inside the airport to get to the correct terminal for the leg home; and I only just made it.

I'm continually amazed at the number of non-english speaking people that successfully navigate their way in there, it's bad enough for us natives! I found my way around the airport in Athens, Greece easier that the one in my own backyard.

TomTom do that too, luckily they have a free subscription with at least 4 maps/year. Still it often miscounts roundabouts exits ("take the 8th exit" ehrrr... there are 5.) or loses its position in the middle of the roundabouts.
In the countryside (which, incidentally, is where I live) it often tells to turn into walls, other houses or non existent roads. Once it had me travelling in deep off-road beceuse once there was a road - I could still see the path - in the dark, while pouring, with a very small economy car. Quite the adventure...

I can see where that would be annoying but... when I use a GPS I don't wait until the voice command tells me to do something before I do it. That's a sure way to cause an accident. On an interstate the GPS usually tells you about your next exit (including exit #) 1-2 miles before you need to make it. Then you ignore the GPS and use the street signs.

As said above, my mom cannot navigate without the GPS telling her what to do.
I don't use it. I use maps and memorize the route.

My wife's niece is getting an agricultural degree. At some point in the process, she will be required to hand milk cows, goats and sheep.
Last night, we were discussing the finer points of each.
Goats should be simpler than cows... one two teats instead of four, but the goat needs to be on a stand to allow you to reach the teats, etc.
My wife's niece said goats should be easier than sheep because goats have an individual mindset, but sheet are herd or flock minded... spook one and they all run.
To which I said... their group thought is: "Get the flock out of here!"
My wife told my 10 year old daughter to get the wooden jelly spoon and beat me with it; my daughter complied, but didn't catch the innuendo to understand why she was doing it.
It was still worth it.

It is an agricultural college with a working farm; a corral is fine, but milking by hand it still done one animal at a time, in a stall, on a platform.

Oh, how disappointing.
I thought this was going to be a torrid discussion on pornography in Wales.

I never really though of beastly sex in terms of pornography. Not interested in either beastly sex or beastly pornography.

It just proves that Americans are sheep since they seem to believe what they are told. Definitely recent history shows that all you have to do is spook one and they all run.
