The urban canyon effect broke your GPS, but it also broke your assumption that directions are reliable. That's the SRE lesson wrapped in a metaphor: you don't know your system's failure modes until the signal drops. The lost 30 minutes taught you more about Canary Wharf than a map ever could.

I honestly knew nothing about the urban canyon till today, it is quite interesting as to how that can affect gps. And I definitely will not depend a 100% on directions from today😂. Tbh in situations like this I think a physical map would be more helpful
