40 - 50 years ago there were fewer roads, RVs were not neat as big as they are now. 50 years ago I drove from the Cal Bay area to Western NY with just a few paper maps as there wasn't anything else.
But today Driving a 1 ton Dually puling a 43' 20K 5er I want to stay on major routes while Google and many other APPs will just give you the fastest or shortest route and don't care if its a narrow 1 1/2 lane roads.

While the 40-50 year thing is right, most everything else is not. Google will not take you off a safe route. It might take you on a less describable route but you should have known in advance what roads made the most sense for the way you like to travel.
I have said it before and I will say it again. If you plan on using nothing but your GPS (any GPS) you are going to get into trouble and it will entirely be your fault. On the other hand, I have been using a GPS as an assistant for the last 22 years and I have never been so stupid as to take the "road less traveled" when I knew the Interstate made a whole lot more sense!
