Why are GPS units so much trouble.
I bought a Garmin Nuvi 5 or so years ago that worked most of the time,but occasionally went beserk.On our Christmas trip to South Carolina,it routed us one way going south and another way going north....

For "planning" we use MAPQUEST which gives you printable step by step directions including turns and even landmarks along with mileage.
A GPS is nothing more than a yuppy gadget, it DOES NOT replace paper maps OR your brains.
I couldn't agree more!
A brand new Rand McNally Atlas is $6.97 in Wally World. Who would be without it? There's nothing similar to give you the big picture.
