Tom, Years ago we drove out of Pennsylvania into N. Jersey. There was a Garmin Satellite GPS & the iPhone cellular as a backup.
How we ended up where we did I don’t know, neither did either of our mapping devices. They both had us driving in circles & this wasn’t an area you wanted to be lost. We had no direction, it was obvious no one had driven the area to map it & the only way we could get out of the mess was to follow a compass & drive South. Finally both GPS’s started working & gave correct info. Maybe Google would have worked, but I doubt it, there are areas not covered.
