So, when using the navigation system in my car in the bay area before my trip, I generally thought it was ok. It didn’t always pick the best route, but it had all the locations I tried to get to in its directory.

Driving along US route 2 through northern North Dakota and Montana has demonstrated how lacking it is. Almost every town along the route didn’t have any roads in the navigation system other than US 2. Not even the business route of US 2 in some towns. If I lived in that area of the country, the nav system would be useless. Then again, if I lived there, I’d probably know all 15 roads in the town and wouldn’t need the nav system…

Anyways, I’m now back in the bay area, and have been for a bit. As of next Tuesday, I’ll move into a new place in San Mateo, and this chapter in my travels concludes.
