All these questions on routing???
Just curious about all the requests for best routes etc, some even between towns in the same state. Having drove all over Europe while in the military there, and all over the U.S. while driving truck...

The people who use it as a search for directions confuse me. For easier to use a mapping site.
Others ask about campsites and places to see and that makes sense as you are asking a group of similar minded people.
The use of GPS is another matter. I've taken to using it even when commuting to the work. While I know perfectly well how to get to the office along with alternate routes, the GPS will tell me if there is a crash or backup on my usual route and suggest alternatives.
Having driven a few times in Europe, the GPS is even more important as once you leave the freeways, the roads seem to follow ancient wagon tracks that meander with little rhyme or reason. In the USA, even most secondary arterials follow predictable patterns (yeah there are exceptions).
