    Don't always depend on a GPS. Make sure you double check your route with a map!

    Set it properly and my map never got used.
    I used copilot

    Except for the other misc. Info.

    California was sometimes a problem child though.

    My GPS is on my boat.
    Road atlas is a lot easier to use on the road.
