I was travelling along a section of Rt 6 in CT heading to a graduation
party. The Nuvi told me I should make a right turn onto Mansfield Road. I
crossed over Mansfield road, but if I wanted to turn there was a guardrail
and a pretty steep hill to go down to that level.

I could not figure out how to make the turn so, instead I went to the next
exit and backtracked a bit. Good thing I looked out the window instead of
blindly following the instructions. On the return trip I did not use the
GPS so I don't know if it would have tried to get me up on the highway that
way or not.

        It sounds like you may want to change the car icon to TANK icon or
something.

AT least you didn't turn onto the train tracks like the guy in Westchester
did ...

One wonders how the ghost of Darwin must feel at having survival of the
fittest degenerate into "least likely to blindly follow the directions
of a cheap GPS"

That's simple. Mutations have no intelligent design. Evolution is
"designed" to permit survival of the fittest, not survival of the
stupidest.
