Type of navigation device?
:)))

hi,
i have a story somehow similar. i just followed the directed route and the road i was driving became narrower and with bigger angle, and the aphalt changed to stonr dirt.. and i was just unable to drive further becouse my tires just spinned and drifted... horrible situation and quite unexpected. finally i just got reverse transmission and very slowly drove backwards.. greetings :) ps. this was in Poland :)

Reminds me of that episode of The Office where Michael drives his rental car into the pond.

My grandson and I traveled from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. I asked GPS software for the shortest route and was directed through an Indian Reservation; no cell phone towers, no villages and no gas stations. After traveling for an hour on a reasonable 2 lane highway the GPS said to turn onto a road that didn't exist. Turns out no roads over to the Grand Canyon. The GPS software relied upon old, no-longer existent government roads. I was lucky that I could return to my turnoff before I ran out of gas. Dangerous. At the gas station, he was incredulous; said you needed a 4-wheel vehicle to even have a chance to go across the reservation to the Grand Canyon.

I was told by someone else that a car went flying off a road at night into a river at the end of a downhill run; turns out the GPS forgot to tell the driver he was supposed to take a ferry at the dock.

I, too, am a GPS fanboy. But I learned long ago that the single best technological adjunct to a good GPS unit is a functioning pair of human eyes.

My GPS (a Garmin Nuvi 350) has various vehicle types. I was playing with it one day and left it in "bicycle" mode. On my next trip, I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't put me on a limited-access highway. I wonder if having a "big-ass truck" for a vehicle type might have helped this guy.

TomTom6 navigate me to the city center of Vaduz, Liechtenstein. In this case, city center really means it, at 3am after alot of turn left/turn right on quite small road I ended into a nice area surrounder by flowers, nice shopping stores and a verry pedestrian area. No clue how they mapped that road.
