    That is why I said get an atlas and use the gps on the phone as a back up. Sometimes I can't see the tiny road on the map that I need to turn on. I can pull my phone out and zoom in as far as I need to. Then I can switch it to "earth" view and see the actual building, where the entrance is, and where the docks are. A $400 GPS can't do that. The phone that I have already paid for can.
     
    '10YOTAtaco Thanks this.

    You can do the same on a computer without having to deal with the phone. However, I do get your point.

    you are missing something here you are working with a company truck, the first thing you need to get is a big bottle of tylenol for all the headaches that will come.

    Actually they have trucker gps apps that are pretty descent. I missed a turn in very small little town in WI, called the place and all they could tell me to do was turn around... Yeah okay that's going to happen!! I studied the map on my phone for awhile sitting in the road with my 4 ways on and then decided to buy a trucker gps app for like $10. It guided me out and got me back on track :D
