Here in Edinburgh, I cancelled an Uber recently and hailed a passing black cab because it was obvious from looking at where the Uber car was that it was effectively lost - I gave up when I could see it going in a circle. Uber is a great service but their navigation tech seems pretty bad - if I get an Uber home I have to correct the driver because the route Uber wants to take tries to go up a farm track to get to my house. I've reported this problem to Uber but they don't seem to care. Edit: Edinburgh is a nightmare to drive in at this time of year because of the festival closing a lot of roads - but normal taxi drivers don't seem to struggle?
