A GPS is an ADVISORY tool.
The driver always must assume responsibility for picking an appropriate route.
Also, as a tool, the operator must learn the capabilities and fail abilities of the tool.
Not trying to say it is your fault, but we are suggesting spending some time learning what a GPS can or cannot do. That includes the apps people suggest you use on your phone or tablet.
Another key suggestion - teach/ learn with your copilot/ navagueser.how the thing works. This is especially important as you move up to bigger vehicles. Driving in difficult traffic isnโt the place to try to teach her/ him how to change something on the GPS.
Basically all GPS units get their source data from the same place, the state highway department through a data conversion company. The same with on-line apps. Google will send out special vehicles to photograph streets and routes, but not to correct/ check mapping accuracy.
Above all else - if it looks like a road you should not take. STOP and look at alternative mapping information sources.
From personal experience I will tell you if a route while traveling in/ pulling your RV starts to look questionable or getting worse - it is going to get a lot worse long, long before you find a better route.
