It's on all the time, always pointed where I am going (over 5 miles or so) even if I go there every day like the track or the stables.

In August I had the wife, mom, two sisters and the dog in the RAV4 sightseeing in rural Cape Breton. (was also pulling my new Mission aluminum utility trailer with all our luggage and mom's wheelchair inside) Rather than use street signs, I asked the garmin to take me to a particular town on the Bras d'Or Lakes. The road got smaller... turned to gravel and then got narrower and narrower. We ended up in some farm's front yard on a dead end. Retraced our steps and followed the highway signs from then on. |

Be careful when navigating the roads of far northeast territories. Many of the roads end up in a farmer's driveway. -- 1-20-13 The end of an error |

The only time I've really used it was to find my way around unfamiliar towns. To me it's useless on a 4 lane, but coming into some place like Chicago, St. Lou,or Indianapolis, it's handy to catch the right exit and street, especially during a rush hr. traffic. |
