Apple Maps Fails Immediately On Highway Patrick Meme

This meme features text at the top reading 'Apple maps the second you get on a highway' placed above a screenshot of Patrick Star from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. Patrick is depicted with a warped forehead, one half-lidded eye, a dazed disoriented expression, and drooling a stream of liquid out of his open mouth. The joke compares Apple Maps' widely reported poor navigation performance, particularly on highways, to Patrick's completely unresponsive, brain-dead state, implying the app stops working correctly as soon as a driver enters a highway, and implying alternative services like Google Maps are more reliable.
