    The GPS built into Qualcomm/navigo is useless. You would be better using a cheap car GPS or Google Maps.

    Or better yet. Do not trust your GPS at all. Use your eyes and your brain and write down your driving directions with pen and paper. None of which requires batteries or is subject to sending you the wrong way. Very effective way of getting where you are going each and every time.

    Millions of steering wheel holders would like to disagree with you.
    There are places where that will get you ticket in the tens of thousands range. One of our guys got one for ~$32k trying to shortcut from 275 to 75. That cop hangs out out there just waiting for someone to ignore the sign. And even with a lawyer, that ticket wasn't reduced by much in court. He had a ticket for every axle and gross, and they were all so much per pound over the limit.

    Where would you short cut 275-75? That sounds expensive

    Somewhere around Brownstown. We picked up cars at dealers all over and there was a marshaling yard in Southgate he was headed to for a couple vehicles. Rather than run in to the Southfield and over and down , he decided on his way.

    My apologies sir there is a 275 and 75 in the Greater Cincinnati area which is what I thought you meant, still an expensive decision
