Yes, indeed. And wasn't that exactly my point, that these navigation systems sometimes, perhaps often, make some pretty bad choices? And that people who blindly follow the computer-generated directions can wind up going miles out of their way (with consequent waste of fuel & time), or, as in the original post, down the side of a hill on a farm track.
