This Morning. Interview with an elderly couple that got lost for three days because the GPS sent them up an unplowed road. Returning from Portland to Reno they got lost & got stuck. The cell was "No Service". Finally the GPS enabled phone picked up a signal and a deputy found them.
Garmin says GPS is "do not cause drivers to make driving decisions." WOW. I found a link.

Terms and Conditions
There must be in the terms and conditions of the GPS unit that states the GPS provides only suggestions on directions and takes no responsibility or there would probably be lots of lawsuits.
The good news is that they survived for 3 days in their Toyota Sequoia. I am surprised the Sequoia got stuck - it must have been some serious snow amounts.
