  What a piece of crap, this thing didn’t warn me about the bridge being closed and jammed up because of a car fire. Stupid paper…

    how ever did people live and get around before the mobile spy tracking hardware was in everyone’s pockets.

      I left on a trip to San Francisco and forgot my STREET maps but I did have an aviation map so I used that.

      It did NOT have the freeway numbers marked. I got there looking for water towers and radio towers and bodies of water. I managed OK.

    I am willing to bet there is still a radio in your vehicle, and very likely a local news station with traffic and weather announcements.

      If the goal is to avoid ads, a radio station is the absolutely worst option.

        At the very least, they are only one-way. They won't be getting any private info or tracking data out of you.
