Study paper or online maps for areas of interest. Study roads and routes, use the shared knowledge of forums like these.
A little knowledge beforehand will save you from any "wild goose chase" the GPS might decide to send you on.
Stories like the senior couple stranded in the desert because they blindly followed their GPS make no sense to me. Where did their common sense go when they turned off the main road and onto a Jeep trail. Or the young family that froze to death in the PNW because the driver let a GPS send him down a logging road, in the dead of winter.
I completely agree Gordon. Common sense is missing. The road in the PNW has trapped many in the snow.
I like my RV660. I can't see spending $300 more for basicly the same product. The 660 is getting phased out but the is still some on Amazon. I got mine at Costco with a backup camera a couple years ago for a great price.
