    @scottied67 Are you sure the GPS wanted you to turn there? It sure looks like it had you bypassing that road and turning at the next one.

    Yup Yup, all that fuss for his own stupidity. After watching that video all I wanted to do was #####-slap the guy.

    I remember mine wanting to to take a bike trail. Umm, I can tell that hasn't been a road for quite a while.

    Surprisingly, when I have a del in the sticks somewhere with various dirt roads or steep mountain roads it will pick the best route.

    Mine took me up a dirt road on a mountain side once. I didn't like the road but it was correct. I was real leery about going up that road and being able to get back out.

    I stopped at Loves on I65 in Kentucky. I don't remember where it was , so I'll describe how to get there. Southbound you cross under the freeway. You pass it and then take a left at the signal, and go up the driveway and cross a 37 ton bridge! WTF? What if you're 80,000 lbs? You have to back up?, including a turn? No thanks! I was about 73,000, so I was good.
