Have a driver that we usually send east to PA. Had to send him to Iowa for a round and on the way back he seen the sign for 94 west and thought, "94 west, thats the way i need to go to get home" and took it! Took him some time and toll $$ before he figured out what he had done and had to turn around to get back to where he started. He pays a little better attention to where hes going now!

Which one? I know a guy who bought one and took it back. He bought the next higher model and took it back. It wasn't until he spent over $1,000 for one that he was happy and thought it worked really well- and he was happy.

I'm ignorant about this. You're talking about having your laptop open and running the whole time you are driving or is there some kind of S&T GPS unit, too?

The 90 "skyway" is actually privately owned

Next time go the 290/294. If it's busy just go 39 to 80 or vice versa. 40 extra miles, but could be well worth it. I just came that way yesterday.
