I would love to see a mandate stating "No GPS usage for a trainee while training". Probably not workable, though.
Too many trainers these days rely on them too much as it is.....

Heck I've been through that tunnel quite a few times..............................on my Harley.
It would take a special kind of stupid to be there in a truck.ironpony, Big Don and "semi" retired Thank this. -
you gotta be kidding me........and I thought the USA Truck "U-turn", the Schneider stuck under the Dunkirk NY overpass, the Prime idiot stuck on a National Forest mountain trail, and the moron who tried to cross that pedestrian bridge near Milwaukee were bad...sdmh
Big Don, Rooster903, ironpony and 1 other person Thank this. -
OK, I've got a bunch of multi quotes here. (Redundant statement, huh.) Let's see if I can sort through them.
All of these things tell me that he was NOT following his GPS, at least when he left Kanab.

When will everyone understand, GPS is a tool and only a tool, Just like a Map, Getting directions from the farmer too turn left at the red barn with 4 sheeps and if you went past Johnnys pub went too far. Go into johnnys pub and johnny will escort you to his best friends farm.
Everything is a tool, Use the tools and have common sense -
One of my favorite rides is Washington SR14 up the Columbia River Gorge across the river from I-84,there's a bunch of nearly 100 year old tunnels...Varoom!

the correct route would be to swing back down into AZ. over to the polygamous towns back into utah and the 15. where you would have been 27 miles to the AZ state line.
that was a long ways out of route.
