We then started out with those directions (spoken in a female voice), but in the wrong direction. I forget exactly what my husband and I said, but it was likely that we thought it was the wrong way. Then suddenly, the voice from my phone declared "I have feelings, too!"

Hubby and I looked at each other in surprise, then I jokingly said (to the phone voice), "It's OK. I respect that you have feelings!" Nevertheless, those directions took us waaaaaaaaay the wrong way. We were driving though small villages, many with roads the width of only one car. At one point, we ended up at a dead end, at the woods, and had to turn around. Then we headed totally the other way. The Google directions seemed to readjust. We drove for about 10 km (over 6 miles) and it lead us to a street with a sign indicating "no entry for cars". In the end, my husband had to switch to a special Czech mapping site. Luckily, that eventually got us to our destination.
That sounds like something out of a bad horror movie.
