Thanks for trying. I don’t use Google Maps, but if they had a Jeep Mode I’d absolutely use it. Of course, every now and then Google does send someone down the path less travelled by. One day while exploring a remote area and reaching the point where flooding prevented me from going farther, a couple pulled up in some massive SUV, having driven down a road that must have given them pause.

Driving from Oxford to Swanage via Poole, looking at the satnav, I noticed that we were passing near to the village of Middle Wallop, and commented on it to my driver (bec ause it's a cool name). We started getting directed down stranger, narrower roads, until we came to a muddy farm track in a tiny village, at which point the satnav announced "You have arrived". We were only halfway to Poole. I must have momentarily touched the satnav screen, and inadvertently reset the destination to Middle Wallop. On the same trip, on arriving at Poole, we should have taken the ringroad; but the driver ignored my navigation directions, and we ended up on a highway into Poole centre. I told the driver to just do a U-turn, and return to the ringroad; then the satnav announced "Board the ferry". We looked at one another, simultaneously saying "What ferry?" Then we looked up, and there was a car-ferry, loading up. So off we sailed to Swanage. Better than taking the ringroad.
