Any electronic navigation device can lead you astray. We carry maps and we use them when traveling. My wife likes to track our trips on maps and she will override the GPS if she doesn't like the route.
And with my wife tracking our trips on a map and with GPS we have some well remembered trips when we ended up in the middle of nowhere.
Safe travels. JD
