That's why I don't fool around with NAV systems. Not only can they lead you into some real trouble, but even non-life-threatening stuff can be annoying sometimes.....like when the unit says turn right and the sign says "No Right Turn" or "One-way ".

Regrettably, this has happened to me for many times in my '02 ES. In a few embarassing cases I actually ran into one-way streets in the opposite directions by obediently following the nav's direction (in the one-way-street-ridden downtown San Francisco). Good thing that there were no cops around so I just quickly made a U-turn while all the other cars were honking at me.
