I have to admit that occasionally during whiteout snowstorms I glance at my GPS more as moral support that I am indeed on a road.
Telephone poles are also a good guide if I can see them.
- scoot 14y agooccasionally during whiteout snowstorms I glance at my GPS more as moral support that I am indeed on a road In which case you need to be aware that GPS is generally only accurate to within tens of meters (sometimes worse), and your satnav will pin you to to the road it thinks you should be on, even if your computed position disagrees (as you will have noticed if you've ever taken a different route to that which your satnav is recommending).
- dhughes 14y agoI'm aware. It's far worse than that in my region most roads in my area are wrong, I tried to submit the errors to the two largest mapping companies but no dice. The errors I mentioned are at least five years old and still have not been corrected yet!
