I admit, I have not plugged mine up to the computer to update it, but still, there have not been roads in the places it told me to turn for many, many years, if ever.<br /><br />Rob, we have had that experience too, blindly following when our common sense said no. We've also had it guide us out of places where we would surely have been lost. Personally, I prefer a map, or even two maps. I can pretty well find my way with a map and directions. The GPS? I just don't trust it.<br /><br />These are some funny stories, you know. We could have a whole website devoted to this topic, i bet!Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-9111278240957794212011-03-03T00:09:28.996-05:002011-03-03T00:09:28.996-05:00Thank you for sharing your stories, your observati...Thank you for sharing your stories, your observations, your photos.

Here, I'm sure there used to be a road but these areas of the states are rural and not so affluent and a lot of the roads have been let go . . . aren't maintained anymore. It takes less than a generation and soon they are lost to our memories . . . but not to our GPS!Nancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-70776341910822267222011-03-02T22:51:46.820-05:002011-03-02T22:51:46.820-05:00That's modern technology for you!

I know that it seems to do alright when we use it at Canaan Valley when we are geocaching. Maybe they have a different software system in theirs????Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.com
