    my gps has very seldom steered me wrong. it most defenitely has never led me down a road i don't belong on.

    atlas can't only get you to your point. it can't tell you anything once your there.

    i don't speak spanish.

    in other words. my gps will get me half through my trip while your still looking at the atlas and calling for directions in spanish.

    is my gps perfrect. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. does my atlas get used. once n a blue moon.

    i've had absolutely no qualms about programming my destination and driving on the fly. without ever looking at the atlas. but when that rare occasion does happen that my gps develops a headache. and there's no internet to use my phone. then i'll pull out the atlas.

    on the west coast my gps has been very good. on teh east coast it sometimes acts up. and so does my phone. and yes i have verizon.

    My gps has steered me wrong twice that I can recall, due to construction. Old maps have steered me wrong hundreds times when I delivered locally in a non cdl vehicle. One map of mine of Stafford County, VA shows an entire neighborhaood that not only doesnt exist, it never has existed, and since a different neighborhood occupies that area now, never will exist.

    My point being, gps is a helpful too just like a map, but neither is 100%. Yes, the motor carrier atlas is pretty accurate but it only has the highways, not everything is right off of a highway.

    My crystal ball is not working at this time. So, if you could provide me the settings I can test it here.

    Need the route settings.

    Thanks,
