Even maps. I was driving to Chicago last week and Apple Maps insisted I take the exit for Danville. Fortunately I knew better, I only had the map on in case an accident might require rerouting. I find it hard to drive with maps navigation because they are usually correct, but wrong often enough that I don't fully trust them. So I have to double check everything they tell me with the reality in front of me, and that takes more mental effort than it ideally should.

I believe that's a famous Army Ranger expression: "the map is not the terrain" (I tried to find an attribution for it but it seems it comes in "the map is not the territory" flavors, too)
