Yet another GPS story. I was heading to Tucson (120 miles) with a friend in my then brand-new truck equipped with On-star and GPS. I know the route well, but I thought I'd see how the GPS would take us there. I set the destination and pushed what I though was the "use freeways" button. It started out fine but when I got on the freeway, it told me that I had to get off and and use a different route. Each time I'd push the button again and ignore the directions it was giving since Tucson is a straight shot down I-10, it would reset and give me some crazy instructions again. Finally when it told me to get off I-10 and head west to Yuma, (about 150 miles away) then double back to Tucson I had enough. We stopped and I put on my reading glasses to find that the button I was pushing said, "avoid using freeways".... :oops: :oops:
