Sorry for the double image, they really are the same image. I had a error saying it had failed so loaded again then it would not let me edit to remove the extra.

I drove by GPS to get home in some really bad snow storms back in the snow belt but only turned with visual confirmation. When you only have 10 or 15 feet of visibility and are going very slow it works. Couldn't see well enough to keep track of where I was but the GPS warned of curves that I could watch for and tell me when I was close to the road I needed. Probably not the smartest thing to do but when your half way home from work and get caught in lake effect snow you don't have a lot of choice, no safe place to pull off and you can't turn back.

Didn't know these were still being published. I bought these for every state I spent much time in. Loved them. I got myself in trouble a couple of times following the smaller roads they showed. Once in the mountains of NY, I couldn't turn around and the boulders sticking up in the middle of the road were to big to straddle. In Maine a lot of the smallest roads belong to the logging companies and they can change fairly quickly. I was taking a short cut because I was getting low on gas and got lost when there were more roads than the map showed. I made it with about a quart of gas to spare.

I was a map junkie for years and a very early adopter of GPS. My first GPS had to be plugged into a laptop to work, sort of. I now over use my GPS and on trips usually have at least one other mapping program running on an iPad that my wife uses to check routes and plan side trips. I also often have my iPhone on a separate mount on the dash in case we need a third opinion. Still have stacks of old atlas and maps, can bring myself to throw away a map even if it is several decades old. I do have a car, truck & tractor that might still run after an EMP if it isn't to strong, all made in the 40s & 50s. Of course I would get lost driving them
