The joys of "auto fill" with a GPS
I needed to make a run out to my friend Ray to pick up a Kohler K-301 engine for my 1968 Cub Cadet ( damn cheapass engine only lasted 52 years )
He purchased another place and I needed to input the info into my GPS to get there. I had purchased another GPS since the previous trip out there. It's about a hour and 15 minutes there. As I'm putting in the street, Mountain comes up ( his road ) and I let it auto fill. I finish off with the town. I start my journey and it's pretty much the same as the last time when I started. As time is winding down to my destination, it says I'm five minutes away to Mountain LANE instead of Mountain ROAD I pull over , reprogram entering the ENTIRE address myself and 20 minutes later, I'm there Good thing it was a nice country drive instead of city |

Use a GPS in my area and you wind up driving down dirt paths in orchards. There's lots of places that were roads, but aren't anymore and haven't been for decades.
