Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

If that lady is reading this, then I am about to tell her that if it told her to turn on Railroad Street, then that does not mean to turn on the tracks. Here is what it probably said to her(two possibilites) "Turn left/right on Railroad Street," or " turn left/right on the railroad tracks". That must be one old GPS if it thinks that there is a road ON the tracks.

I HATE GPS biggest pos ever made
I had one couldn't even find my remote house said it was in the middle of the gulf of mexico !!!!
and when I was in Tennessee it did tell me to turn right and drive down the tracks for a 1 mile then make a left thou things are crazy
People are going to be so screwed when we have solar flares and total loss of electronics

I haven't had good luck w/ GPSs either. Personally I'll stick to Google Maps and instructions...

One time I tried to go to a restaurant, but it led me to a party store.

P-A-R-T-Y PARTY

sorry couldn't resist
but yah they send you all over the place
I now recall a time where it told me to cut through a sod farm here in Alabama

I have used a Magellan (we call her Maggie) GPS for several long distance trips now. Of course, the thing is not perfect, but it hasn't led me to the wrong destination as of yet. All you have to do is use a little common sense.

If it tells you to turn left, and when you look to your left you see a lake, then you don't turn left!
