Outdoor adventurers know that Google Maps is useless the second you leave pavement. Not only is it not a reasonable choice as a hiking GPS (it’s almost completely worthless, in fact), it’s also not a reliable tool for navigation if you’re planning to drive on forest service, logging, or Jeep roads. Using Google Maps to navigate to a remote set of GPS coordinates could, in fact, be downright dangerous, as is using it to take shortcuts off of major highways in remote areas.
