Has Google gotten into the truck GPS business yet?

Google earth is useful for examining a situation fairly recent for wherever you are going, have been etc. I noticed the most recent google earth view of our local doughnutshop back home had a new door installed and fixing to replace the now 100 year old slate roofing pretty much.

Traffic is what you see going down the road. If you run into a fatal and lose 6 hours or whatever? Oh well. Make a new appt time after revising and generating a new trip plan. You did not ask to lose 6 hours to that fatal today. Or fight traffic. It is there or is not.

I don't depend on a #### thing when I drive down the road. My hands on the wheel and eyes up on the road around the vehicle. I generally within reason know where I have to go to get somewhere. The traffic will just have to resolve itself along the way.

That's one of the reasons i loved the west so much, Rush in say Kit Carson consists of 10 trucks pulling in for a meal and maybe 5 cars rolling to the corrections job in Limon and that's it.

Sometimes you have to push back against all these gadgets and just chill and drive. So much stress over nothing. It's unnecessary. What's next? Implanted Chips into babies for a full downloaded set of languages and a college education dispensing with the babble, toilet training and so forth on day 10?

 

I'd just like to see Google work again.

Cuz it's seriously out of whack.

 

It's been out of whack.

In Arkansas you can visit Idrive.com and pull up real time cameras for say I-40 Galloway near the Petro looking from the 440 ramp eastward. The state of traffic is there in real time. Certain parts of the arkansas maps do update in traffic terms, closures to floods, ice etc and it's pretty reliable over time. Ive gotten used to it. But it is not real real actual right now time.

I try to eliminate as much as possible in trip planning. IF I know that Columbus is fubared as always then I consider Kentucky If i can get that far south without wrecking the out of route. (Like that bothers me any...) I'll run Kentucky without worrying about that silly I-70 bs as i have done for over 10 years.

 

i also had RM, a few and went to Smart Truck but i had no issues with, other than being off by say a building or 2. I am surprised that you had so many issues with smart truck. are you putting in the addresses correctly? it uses google as the address location base. So its as accurate as google.
