Another Prime Driver

A GPS is only as good as the data that has been programmed into it. If anything including the vehicle parameters that the driver has entered, the road parameters entered by a data entry person, or the characteristics on the ground has changed - you can throw it all out. Its not necessarily the fault of any of the above. What do you do about a city council that puts up "NO TRUCKS" signs without kindly informing any of us? How about the developers and city planners who put an additional stop light into the mix - and your turn is at the 3rd stop light - which is now really the 4th stop light?

Use the GPS to get close, follow the macro 19 instructions to get in. Use one of the online map databases (Mapquest or Google Earth) to make sure its right and you know what is going on. Do your homework before you go one foot on any trip.

 

Also make sure you go online and update your gps

 

Just ask when was the last time it was updated

 

What model and manufacturer is it? We'd all like to avoid "he hates the &# thing!"

 

I bought a Rand Mcnally for our truck. Trainer couldn't afford to buy his own, but anyways it has definitely been a nice tool to have. I definitely learned the hard way though to not depend entirely on the GPS. Nice thing is qualcom goes off of rand mcnally maps so the GPS has been pretty close everytime to what the qualcom has.
