I was reminded today about the worst part of owning an RV GPS, updating the darn thing. Today it took one hour and forty-five minutes to update, it was a combined software and map update. Don't get me wrong, I like the GPS I have especially the traffic updates while on the road, I just don't like the time it takes to update.
Yep. Did my small one this weekend and took close to an hour.

Ounce of prevention......
Better to spend that hour & fortyfive now than possibly an hour & fortyfive or more on the wrong road or other issues later. Just imagine still having to use paper maps.
I always carry an road atlas with me. I like to get the BIG PICTURE every so often when the road ahead is congested especially when at a stand still.
YES... unbelievable to me that some drive using GPS and have absolutely NO IDEA of the BIG PICTURE on how you are going to get there. I always spend a little time the night before driving to go over the route, if not on a paper map, then certainly on a google map and give myself some visual cues on about where I am and what routes I am going to use to get there.
