Your Garmin thinks you're in a car.


No, I know that much. Actually, it was acting like it thought my car
was a boat. However, the route was following roads properly for 80%
of the trip but just taking that weird shortcut across the invisible
bridge. It's supposed to act one way or the other; not both.


Are there still any DUKW's available in the US Roger?


You can take a ride on one around the Seattle downtown and waterfront.
I'd guess that they don't have any problems routing their tours!

I haven't tried it yet but I intend to try to set up a route which involves
catching one of our many ferries to one or other of the Scottish Islands. I
will let you know how I get on.
