I don't recall, it was along time ago. I can't place a Walmart in Rogers can you?
Maple Grove and Elk River are the closest.....Thats why Monticello is my #1 choice and then Hudson E2 on the hill....Not a Supercenter tho, BUT has a Home Depot around the corner for free wifi...

After I delivered this morning, I turned on my Garmin GPS, and nothing. Would not come on, crap. Went through the usual reboot things, checked the power cord, tried another one, but just a paper weight.

Times like this I realize how dependent I am on it. Spent about 15 mins messing with it then gave up.

Now I'm thinking, great I'm out in the sticks, no clue which way is which. I'm screwed.
Then I look at the Garman and see those beautiful words....Garmin Loading....
And all is right with the world again

Things that didn't even come to mind.

1. QC has GPS with POI.
2. My phone has GPS maps to anywhere (providing I had a signal).
3. God for bid I might have to ask for directions

Mine went for a dump last month....Holy crap....panic!

Most garmins have a hard reset button located on the back of the unit push this and all is well again!

Whoops... My evening entertainment. Semi driver first pulls into the front pilot Arby's drive-through lane manages to get out of that mess. Then exits front lot and pulls in next door into a dead end. Took him forever to back out of that one. Want to get away
