GPS is useless, confirmed


.... if you turn it on in the US and find that the memory card contains
the maps for Austria and Switzerland.

Note to self - next time, make sure that the memory card's contents
actually matches the note on the card itself.

Oh, and the power of Google Maps and a regular road map conspired in me
finding what must be the only road in California that's labelled as a
'major road' that is *just* about wide enough to carry one car (for
those that have been in proper Northern California, it's the road
following the Salmon River from Somes Bar to Cecilville - stunning
scenery, but not something you want to drive in a hurry).
