Atlas question/trip planning

US209 goes through the Delaware River Gap National Recreation Area. All US/State routes through any national park are restricted to commercial traffic.

 

You can alter your route choice on most decent GPS systems by using the "VIA" function, selecting the highway you want.A GPS is a GUIDE, just like an Atlas. They can both be wrong. And using both minimizes your chances of getting in trouble. But it's up to YOU to be looking at signs. I was in Louisville for the first time in a truck a while back. The GPS routed me down a road with a 13' 6" bridge. I saw the sign. I kept going and looked for an alternate, because the area is old and poorly paved and no, I don't trust that 13-6 is still good, after God only knows how many re-pavings.

I can get along without my GPS and Did the first couple months I was driving. It's your choice, but I can plan a trip in 5 minutes using a GPS and Road Atlas. The Atlas alone it's more like 20, and with the useless or non-existent directions to half my stops, it's saving me a lot more than 15 minutes a trip, trust me.

 

I agree,i don't know why people solely depends on GPS to get anywhere especially truck drivers.I have always used map quest compare it to an atlas double checked my routing and only time I used GPS is when u was close to the customer so I wouldn't miss the street.
