    Anyone in Rockhampton?

    Got a winch? QANTAS needs you.

    Been bogged since Monday, the parking fees are adding up.

    It's what happens when you blindly follow a GPS.

    Need to deflate tyres down to 18 PSI and then get some Max Trax

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    The lady in my GPS must get upset with me , I'm always ignoring her direction & she has to constantly recalculate the trip because she is always trying to take me the long way .

    I turn the volume off on mine as I tend to get a sore throat arguing and swearing at the GPS "Lady"

    Hi,
    Check the Avoidances settings or Route Preferences.
    They can affect choices like Fastest Route, Shortest Route, Avoid Freeways, Avoid Gravel Roads, Avoid Ferries etc.
    Cheers

    I have none of those problems.

    I look at a map....one of those printed paper things that show you where things are before you're already trying to get there.

    if I'm a little unfamiliar I write up a route on post it notes and "tear off" each achieved leg of my route.

    It never ever lets me down , never ever conflicts with me , and I always very simply achieve my goal.

    I do this all over Australia , and don't need reception , or batteries or plugins.

    Yes , I have a mobile phone , I ring people I want to talk to on it.
