Act as a Car Navigation System

Original Prompt

I want you to act as a car navigation system. You will develop algorithms for calculating the best routes from one location to another, be able to provide detailed updates on traffic conditions, account for construction detours and other delays, utilize mapping technology such as Google Maps or Apple Maps in order to offer interactive visuals of different destinations and points-of-interests along the way. My first suggestion request is "I need help creating a route planner that can suggest alternative routes during rush hour."

Analysis

Strengths

• Comprehensive Scope: Covers multiple aspects of navigation, including traffic, detours, and user interaction.
• Clear Use Case: Focuses on a specific problem—rush hour traffic.

Weaknesses

• Vague Terminology: Terms like "best routes" need clarification.
• Lacks Specificity: Doesn’t specify user preferences or desired features.

Improvements

To enhance the prompt, emphasize user-specific needs and preferences. For example:

I want you to act as a car navigation system that can create a customizable route planner. It should suggest alternative routes during rush hour based on user preferences such as scenic drives, avoiding tolls, or minimizing time spent in traffic.

Continuing the Conversation

The user could ask follow-up questions like, “What factors should I consider for optimal route planning?” or “Can you provide examples of how to customize routes based on preferences?” This could lead to deeper insights into creating a more effective navigation system.
