This is dumb. You can't blindly follow a GPS system. The first time I ever traveled with one it tried to guide me across a mountain top on unpaved logging trails.

the GPS worked perfectly.

however, users should note that the GPS does not take weather conditions into account when planning the route.

what does GPS have to do with them getting stuck? it was the snow that was the problem.

It must have been a TomTom. What a piece of sh*t. Any company that uses the word twice is not reputable.
