AI Thread Summary
For those taking driving lessons and struggling to keep track of driving locations, using GPS recording apps can be beneficial. MapMyRide is recommended for tracking routes, even though it's designed for cycling. Users often encounter confusing intersections and road signs, making it difficult to navigate effectively. The experience of using a GPS navigator can be challenging, especially when trying to identify destinations that aren't clearly marked. Recording GPS locations can serve as a valuable tool for reviewing and understanding complex routes before taking the driving exam. This approach can enhance confidence and improve navigation skills during lessons.

I'm taking driving lessons and can't keep track of the locations I drive around in, so I wish to record my GPS location on a map for later reviewing. What are some good iPhone apps that allow for GPS recording?

MapMyRide. It's intended for bikes but I think it should track just fine.
 
Great suggestion, thanks! The lessons are two hours and sometimes I come across an intersection, roundabout or complex interchange road that are really confusing and for some reason I can't find them back in Google maps.

Now I just know that when TomTom tells me to go to "S102", I most likely need to get to the left side of the road asap before an overpass. The navigator, signs, and road marks are too confusing. An example: I need to get onto a freeway, read the signs, the destination is not on the signs, what is the alternative destination, S102, where is it on the signs, can't see it, read the signs, stay in the right lane, don't go right, go left! (change three lanes to the left in heavy traffic) why don't you read the signs, didn't you see the sign? Um, no, the closest number I saw was S103 :rolleyes: I passed that crazy interchange two times now and just don't get where the roads are going to, I don't even get where exactly the location is, that clearly needs to change.
 
And it works! I have seven lessons left before my exam, this is a great reviewing tool :approve:

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
