Reply to comment by bugalaman in LPT: If driving in a snowstorm and your GPS suggests taking a faster route, don’t do it if it takes you off the Highway. Backroads are usually last to be cleared of snow and you could get stuck! by Bradiator34

Interesting, just read it. However, the article states they used an old fashioned paper road map and not a GPS/navigation :)

[quote]Because of Mr. Kim's background as a technology analyst, observers speculated that the family had used online mapping to find their route.[18] However, Mrs. Kim told state police that they had used a paper road map,[19] an account supported by the Oregon State Police, which reported that the Kims had used an official State of Oregon highway map.[20] Mrs. Kim later recounted that, after they had been stuck for four days and were studying the map for help, both she and Mr. Kim noticed that a box in the corner of the map bore the message: "Not all Roads Advisable, Check Weather Conditions".[21][/quote]
