lol!!

the person that said it is good in urban areas, but elsewhere not so much, I think hit it on the head.

for getting around staten island and brooklyn, it was good.

and you dont have time to look at a map for every pickup.

but yeah, in other areas, i’d bet the GPS isn’t quite as useful

“for getting around staten island and brooklyn, it was good.”

Well, I love GPS because I always get lost. (Although I have learned to stop and go back before I get really, really lost as someone else mentioned.)

But, the one in my Elantra is just backasswards when I try and use it by my office in Basking Ridge, NJ.

Now this is a suburban area, but I work in a fairly large office building, there’s a hospital right near us, and there are big companies around there, Verizon for example.

When you leave my office you go down a hill to a main intersection (there’s an entrance to route 79 right there!) and it ALWAYS tells me to go right, but it should tell me to go left. It’s like it thinks I’m coming from the opposite direction. Once I go left anyway it’s OK.

Don’t want to playing that game in Death Valley!
