How can you be so completely and utterly devoid of common sense as to blindly follow a piece of technology's directions into 1 1/2 feet of snow?
No technology is perfect, and it's suicidal to follow what it says without hesitation and/or without stopping to think about the logicality of following it.

But the GPS company should have had the Forest Roads labeled "danger, do not travel" for at least December through April. Anyone with a lick of sense around those parts knows that ...

It isn't the GPS company's fault.
If a road is called "Forest service road XX" you're pretty safe assuming it's a seasonal road only.
I'll stick to paper maps, thank you, especially after having my GPS flake out in the middle of St. Louis traffic.

Ok, this thread is scaring me. I just got a GPS for Christmas. I'm so directionally challenged that I wonder if even a GPS will help me.

Too bad the GPS knows nothing of road construction and detours too.
My brother got hopelessly lost while trying to get me to the train station from his house at 2 a.m. one time. He had to do that very uncool, unmanly thing, and find an open convenience store and ask for directions!He had only lived in that area for a short period of time, and was still learning his way around.
He was really p.o.'ed at his "b*tch on the dash" as he fondly calls her.

You'll do fine!
I swear by (not at) Mapquest - it's never failed me yet. I just print it out and pretty much have it memorized before I even leave the house. Of course I take the copy with me - just in case.
