We rented a 25' class C in 2017 when we were dipping our toes in the RV world. I bought a brand new Garmin GPS with lifetime map updates and updared it immediately out of the box. So it should have ben good to go... Right?
Not quite. We picked up the camper in Atlanta and our first stop was to be Fort Mountain park.
The gps sent us down two dead end roads, one of which ended up at the front gate to someone's property. In trying to do a U turn, I put the wheels into a ditch that looked like solid ground that wasn't and we were bogged up to the chassis.
A friendly local came with his 4WD pickup and hauled us out. I asked him whether that road actually went through to the park. He said that he had been living there for 25 years and that road hadn't gone through in all the time he was there.
So much for "updated" maps.
