After 2 weeks of daily research, I've come to the conclusion (almost a info concussion) that most if not all GPS are not worth the $ paid for them. Every time I read a review of a new, somewhat new or old unit, the 3 star reviews scare me. Mostly that is about the directions being wrong. For example the vehicle should turn right, but the gps indicates to go left. Other things like use the XXX freeway when nobody in that area uses that name. (I even have that problem with Google Mapping and my phone.) Then there is the RV (trucker) gps versus Car issue. I don't care about putting in the length, width and weight, but I do care about height. I've already smashed the top at a service station once. Between the multiplicity of models, add-on software, etc. can we please have a conversation to enlighten my ignorance?
GPS is just to help guide you. GPS does not allow you to turn off your brain. GPS is good at many things but should not be followed blindly. The funny names and wrong turns should be a source of humor not a driving disaster.
