Or you might be able to save 2 minutes going on unpaved roads riddled with pot holes, but is it worth it?
Always pays to look carefully on your route if you are doing road trips beyond metro.

I was caught out once following a gps for the first time in a rural area, the road I was following ended up at a farm with locked gates. Me think these gps programmers don't look to see if the maps are updated.
Pays to go into your gps optional settings and do a few tweaks to minimise embarrassment when picking some routes.
Many times I have followed some roads that are lucky to be classed as goat tracks at best.
I always carry road maps for each state when travelling as you cannot beat the old system.
