Just watched a very interesting news clip on Vice News about GPS routing issues regarding the route between Springfield. MO and the Walmart DC in Clarksville. AR. The Ponca. AR fire chief specifically named USX drivers (among other companies) as the frequent victims to poorly represented Ozark mountain topography on GPS programs. I am posting this for 3 reasons; 1 - create awareness of potential road hazards, 2 - to hear input based on first hand experiences, and 3 - thoughts on pro-active procedures to help reduce frequency of dependence on reactionary skills alone.

I am a bit old school when it comes to maps. I remember anytime I drove into LA and was looking for how to get there we used Thomas Brothers Maps to plan out the day. Personally I would never trust any GPS 100%, I would still use a Road Atlas to verify it is somewhat correct, and if I had not been there before, Google Street View. No excuse to end up where you should not be.
DTP and NavigatorWife Thank this.
