    Go ahead and block it. I am sure they would rather that than a Volvo running over their cars.

    That bar that you whack nearly whacked me. I had a red button trailer that wouldn't release. I looked under it, saw the bar and figured it needed to be moved. I grabbed it and when it released it nearly took my thumb off.

    In the future I will whack instead of grab...no giggling MD.

    Garmin must have different routing.

    I once had a truckstop set as a destination in the Rand McN and it wanted me to get off the exit drive 5 miles up a road, do a u-turn then drive back down the same road to the truckstop that was maybe a 1/4 of a mile from the exit on the opposite side of the road

    Why it thought a simple left turn at an intersection (with a left turn lane/arrow) into the truckstop was not possible is beyond me.

    I95 exists to cause grief.

    Got to be a better option than looking out for mailboxes and geraniums.

    I figured out they needed the registration after waiting in line in the rain for 15 minutes. It wasn't until I got to the door that I noticed the sign.

    Nope. The guy is gone and I'm locked in so can't even try it.

    It can only go by the information it has. Plus the software can have glitches.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    Yea, when I bought my Garmin, it came with a 2 hr update to be downloaded. But it has been spot on 99.9% of the time so far. Only one issue with a 10'4" bridge 2 blocks from a consignee. Just a minor inconvenience. Have you checked your software update?

    (Had to 7 key restart it, but got it into regen mode.)
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.
