Need help. Truck route through through Clayton New Mexico

That right there is why you NEVER trust ANY GPS. New, old, gold plated or otherwise. It may get you there.......eventually! Live and learn!

 

I have a garmin. It has no idea. I plan my route MY WAY. Garmin usually catches up. You have to remember......there are at least a half dozen ways to get from point A to point B. ONLY ONE BEST WAY. Pick your route, write it down with pen and paper. It'll get you there every time.

 

I’ve never come from the west. Coming from the east the signs direct you to the scale.

 

When you input the destination and the gps suggests a route , you don’t scroll out and follow the route to see if it makes sense ?

I always do that , even when I’m not in a commercial vehicle .

you can’t just blindly trust a gps .
You gotta be like Ronald Reagan, “trust , but verify “

 

Everyone made fun of me a while back when I suggested that actually looking at a paper atlas map and making notes on paper was a good plan.

why spend ten minutes doing that when you can just trust the flawless gps ?
