    Ok once again you say "I'm older and experienced" what's that mean? What valuable knowledge do you possess that you can pass along to a younger driver such as myself? Older drivers always say "I been doing this x amount of years" but I never hear anything valuable said.

    I actually have the rand mcnally atlas but I have not used it in probably a year or so. Being on a dedicated account I have all the routes memorized and do not go anywhere new for the most part and when I do need to go somewhere thats not familiar then we have detailed directions.

    Never say sorry. It's a sign of weakness.

    And that my friend shows your immaturity and macho ego that keeps you from listening and learning.

    You missed the reference. It's from Gibbs on NCIS.

    I'm always willing to learn. Teach me.

    Just saying though by not talking to others you never know what you miss out on learning.
    As far as GPS goes I cant teach ya anything your either all for using exclusively or in conjunction with maps or not at all its your choice nothing to teach.
    Just hope that if its the first one you dont find out the hardway why to double check a map.

    BTW for those saying that the routing is wrong because for my programming why does RM 520 avoid the GW bridge at all costs even though I dont have it avoiding tolls and its not in my advoid list? I want to learn.
