Re: GPS - again

I depend on mine for work. and yes its wrong occasionally. But i dont think there are any other choices. do they still make paper maps? And many of my customers are on new roads that won't show up anywhere else.

They still made the DeLorme topo maps a couple years ago when we bought out last ones.

Out here where I live, the GPS is always wrong. Either it has things in the wrong places or it suggests you drive some route that basically doesn't exist: goat trails or private roads that are gated off.

I just get tired of either waiting on somebody because they refused to take or follow my directions instead of their GPS, or else having to tell lost people where to go, especially when they drove right by the road sign for the road that they were looking for.
