How do we get there?
We are having some issues with our GPS, so we are trying to get places the old fashion way using Google Maps or Map Quest. Seems as if those sites do not care at all that you are driving a 37 foot mo...

I've been turned away too many times from firetrails, that GPS wanted me to enter to take it seriously.
Than it is government that does mapping that GPS uses, so it takes about 8 years for new freeways to show on the routing.
I felt pretty stupid driving 210 freeway in So California who as I check was 6 years old and my recent GPS showing swamps and asking me to turn around.
So if I am planning to take back roads, what I actually consider adventure, I go on google maps and zoom on satellite pictures. Takes good internet and some time, but will also allow you to notice some stuff map will never show.
Kayteg1, what recent GPS showed the 210 as swamps? I live very close and use it frequently when shopping or traveling East and I never knew there was a swamp, even back in the days before the 210 when we went Foothill to Baseline to the old Cajon Pass.
Folks on here have suggested using the 210 to avoid LA traffic for yeats, I've never heard anyone mentioning a swamp. There are a lot of washes out there but no swamps.
Sorry for not being precise with time.
That situation happen few years ago. The 210 between Glendora and San Bernardino was built about year 2000 (from my memory, so give or take couple). I drove it with 2007 GPS what was showing farmlands and "swamps" in my location. I mean I consider the map showing swamps, what you should take with grain of salt ;)
Than that nagging FEMALE voice that kept telling me to turn around. :S
I had a project that made me driving SF to San Diego every couple of moths and 210 was the best, although I-5 via LA at 10PM was not bad.
