Apple Maps tried to send me down an abandoned county road in Nebraska.

"Apple Maps tried to send me down an abandoned county road in Nebraska."

Back when GPS was just becoming a thing for the general public, I bought a Rand McNally package which consisted of a CD you'd upload to a laptop, and a GPS antenna that plugged into a USB port.

It surprisingly worked quite well, and having a bigger laptop screen sitting on the front passenger seat was actually much easier to read than the little tiny Garmans being sold at the time.

It did; however, on one occasion, route me along what I could only describe as a jeep trail across private property.

Fortunately, I had a Jeep :-)
