Bob beat me to it!
I am a retired pilot. Blindly following your GPS/autopilot/nav system is not a smart idea. Before any trip I (gasp!) get out my AAA paper maps and plan my route. I use a yellow highlighter. Then I plan a route on the GPS and save it.
Once on the road remember that plan in the back of your mind. When you're shooting down I-95 and you know you'll be on it for many miles don't just allow the GPS to take an exit when you know it's not time!
That said, I love my Garmin GPS. I love the modern gadgets and love playing with them. Just remember YOU'RE in control, not it!
