Mentioned a couple map versions ago, that Southbound of I40 in North Carolina, (Exit 20) on US 276, a few miles south is a newly added GPS aware road: Catamount Drive, a 1-2 lane gravel road that degrades to a dirt path through the middle a cattle pasture……. To a where a wooden corral fence blocks it ~1/4 mile down gravel/dirt road.. from access to the next available road: Return Drive.
This spring the farmer put up a new metal cattle fence blocking that road about 800’ East of the wooden corral.
Just wanted to post that Catamount Drive is now blocked in Two Places, westbound of US276. Access to Return Drive is not now, nor has it ever been possible!
This is totally unsafe, and Garmin has no business allowing Catamount Drive to be a route-able road via GPS. It is NOT PAVED. Gravel & dirt cow path! LITTERALLY! But for some reason 2 maps ago……. They did!
Google Earth lets you count the cattle on the fence-less road
-- A 2689LMT in both our cars that we love... and a Nuvi 660 with Lifetime Maps that we have had literally forever....
And a 2011 Ford Escape with Nav System that is totally ignored!
