~~~~ turning "too soon" -- Done that
~~~~ Moving in to the "left turn" lane - only to have to go back into traffic - yeah that too
~~~~ Avoiding traffic - never really had to do that - my Garmin doesn't have that option
~~~~ Using the Topographic maps while hiking (and Yes - I can read and understand maps) - I usually use the map to find the easier way and not the steepest hills
One thing you guys left out - with the fold-able maps, if used incorrectly, they can block your vision out of the passenger side, while the better half is studying it
Yes, the Garmin has tried to have me turn on to railroad tracks that were right next to a street named "Station Road". The station was a block away on the road, but the GPSr was trying to get me there faster
Of course, as I crossed the tracks, the "arrow" told me to turn safely onto the road
My mother told us a story of her and my dad navigating to the shore. He got really upset with her when they missed a turn and she said that the next road was a half mile away.... She didn't mention that the "road" was BLUE!!!!
As they approached the road (bridge over the creek) he realized what she did
The next "real road" was another 2 miles away Awwww Wellllll
