Stump the GPS

I am still learning and navigating with my new GPS. I shared it with my brother and he thought it was very amusing. But instead of using it to just navigate you to a place. He wanted to stump it. We changed cars, jumped into what was my old jeep and his new one and we had to venture up the bush (or up into the woods).

When we went off the alley and into the woods, it did not recalculate, rather just thought we were still on real roads. There are a few access roads off road behind Kulpmont, but it did not really do anything. It did not even "recalculate." I am sure in the future when I stop us, the willies will be brought out and a larger adventure planned out.

I did learn a few moves on approaching off-roading and am now under the impression that those I used to go with were just hot doggers. My brother carefully observed the paths and took his time in 4 low going on some of the paths. These paths I would thing were for 4 wheeler atv's, but we went on them in the Jeep Cherokee.

So, we stumped but did not stump the GPS and learned a little more about off-roading.

There is also something about geo-caching with the GPS, which we may check out and try to learn more about. You are able to plug in co ordinances and get to a location and that would be pretty cool to try and just follow Jill (Female English Woman Voice that comes out of the GPS.)
