Crazy Gps.....

So, I am on the road quite a bit.... and I have always used mapquest.com up until 2 years ago, when I finally decided to spend the money on a Garmin gps...

75% of the time it works great, but damn, sometimes "she" decides to take me on an adventure....

I just do not get sometimes when there is a route that has freeways the whole way there, that she decides to take me the scenic route through 50 small towns..... lol

anyone else have this problem?

Re: Crazy Gps.....

You can change the way "she" takes you. As in always choose.. shortest distance, fastest route, etc. etc.
Should be under the settings or something.

Hopefully that helps.

Re: Crazy Gps.....

throw that batch off your bike at the closest roadside lemonade stand and then walk back and be like batch! gimme some of the yellow stuff , and dont try any funny **** like pissin it!! then grab your gps. then you will never have another problem again thats what i did and now my girlfriend always reads the newspapper. hahahahahahahah.


no that was just a funny thing to do. and i doubt it will work. but try to update it, or re boot it. like completely re boot then re update and see if it fixes it. but that first idea just might be crazy enough.
