how well they work in most populated places but I do know that around here, in the mountains, they are dangerous for those unfamiliar with the area. We have to tell people, regularly, that they can't rely on them in this part of the planet.

And driving the wrong way down the Interstate is not a bad as some fates people suffer when they rely on them too much. Get a fucking map, learn how to use it and pull over or study it ahead of time for christfuckingsakes.

People who rely on those damned things for too much are like the idiots who show up at Yellowstone NP (elev. 6700ft - 9000+ft) in flipflops, tank tops and shorts in September demanding to know where the Walmart is so they can get some cheap clothes... two hours minimum from the nearest big box stores.
