GPS gone wild........

Ya you mean like going topless and drinking like crazy? Ya that happens there.

Yep, and that's the story you told your wife and you are sticking to it! Good man. I understand.

When I had my StreetPilot III a few years back and we were going by Scranton, PA. It kept telling me we were off route and wanted me to take exits which would have put me in downtown Scranton. Having only owned the unit for a couple of weeks it kind of shook me up but I decided to ignore it and keep going. It kept this up all the way down to I-80 even showing me way off the road in a couple of places. At one point, even though I had it set for track up it showed the car going across the screen from right to left. Then all of a sudden everything straightened out and I never had any more problems the rest of the trip home. Another strange thing was I took the same route going east and not a problem.

I think it was a major screw up with the mapping because I posted my experience on a GPS forum and another guy had the same problem in the same area.

This could be a very good reason for not including bread crumb trails in a GPS unit. No evidence of the actual route travelled, nor how long one was at any one spot. Thanks Garmin!

I'm very glad the Rest Area POIs worked out for you.
I hope to have all the facilities listed for all "locations" in the next few months. Have been chopping away bit by bit.
I took a 5200 mile trip in December and, although I did find a few problems, I thought the accuracy was in the 95 % bracket. I have corrected most of those problems in the latest update.
Anyone finding problems with Rest Areas should e-mail me with the details (Interstate #, State, Mile marker-or even better - coordinates) and I will get any errors corrected in the file.

That would explain a lot

After Miami Dolphins only win, my Garmin went crazy. I was heading north on Florida's Turnpike when it wanted me to exit west onto I-595 for one mile, then exit and head back east on I-595 only to take Florida's Turnpike north again. A perfect figure eight. What a waist of time fuel that would have been. I think it was caused by the Miami Dolphins' win.
