GPS glitches are nothing new.

I use them plus also paper maps.

I like my GPS but they are from not perfect.

“I like my GPS but they are from not perfect.”......

Same here. Anyone trying to locate my home should NEVER use a GPS. In my area, some local roads have been re-routed or even permanently closed but the GPS system, if used, will direct you to eventually wind up on a “dead end” road out in the middle of a Federal Wildlife Refuge.

What happens if they get damaged or the batteries run out and you are in the wilderness somewhere?

They are a convenience and a tool that can fail. Be prepared for when it fails which means reading a map and using a compass. Other than that, they can be a very useful navigation tool.

Oklahoma City... When I travailed I used my Garmin 76 and had no problems really... But Oklahoma City was like picking a hair ball... And for some reason the GPS would be worthless...
