The google maps feature on the Iphone is not much better. Put us in Downtown Baltimore on the way south from Rhode Island. In DC, it took the scenic route. Once in Florida, we came thru the Ocala forest. Looking for a location off 441, it brought be along the side of Walmart to the dumpster and said arrived.

I dont need bluetooth, or any cameras. I want to stick to highways on the way back.
Thanks for reading.

Use Waze, for the most part it's the most accurate. Go into the settings to make sure that it knows you have an EZ-Pass transponder (if you have one) and any other transponder like the Sunpass. Set it to the fastest route, not to avoid toll roads and not to allow dirt roads.
