GPS is a GREAT tool. But if I was driving for more than 10 minutes on a deserted road I would pull the map out of the back seat on a long trip.
Especially a place I was unfamiliar with.
It also doesn’t have the capability to tell you to turn around if you miss an entrance to a highway. Even if it’s 10 yards back!! It might take you a half hour out of your way to find another entrance.
And certainly doesn’t always give the fastest route.
Ha! That sounds like me in NJ. Ever try to “turnaround” in NJ? I missed my exit, turned onto a state highway, then a county road, then a smaller road, then a driveway marked “no turnarounds”. GPS was worthless.
I always check a map before I leave. I like to have some idea of where I’m going.
“-——if you miss an entrance to a highway. Even if it’s 10 yards back!! “
Would you actually back up 10 yards on an Interatate? I wouldn’t,even if I was a young whippersnapper like you. :-)

Or the safest. One time it sent us into a bad neighborhood.
