If I was GM and surely they must get input on their GPS System failings, I would attempt to buy out Garmin, Magellan or Tom Tom i.e. a Company that knows GPS Technology very well and get them to fix and enhance the GPS System, for them it should be just pocket change and would not be a monetary concern in my humble opinion.
I still think there must be someone out there that has fooled with GM's GPS System and has developed an easy way to develop a more complicated long route like the 2000 mile one I do with Garmin and downloaded it to the in-vehicle GPS.
For a real bright young feller in computer technology this should be a small challenge....its beyond an old lad like me for now but I might give it another try. The GM manual talks about setting up waypoints using longitute and latitudes, putting it into a type of form and downloading it via a USB stick, tried that but it does not seem to work.
I'll agree uploading routes to the GM system is a downside. It's to bad because the routing directions on the GM system blows away my Garmins, of which I have many including the RV760 and Google maps. In dense traffic situations it give way better voice directions including which lanes to be in better than the garmin and landmarks to look for before a turn.
