It doesn't work with Google Maps. Source: I was using Google maps to get to/from Northwestern Hospital on Lower Wagner today, and the GPS dropped the entire time I was down there.

Trick: as you enter Lower Wacker, take note of the proposed exit.

And then head in there. Ignore your GPS. Make a turn when you see your exit.

When you're above ground again, resume GPS.

Yeah, did that. Problem wasn't the initial exit, it was the rapid series of turns after exiting lower Michigan from lower Wacker that was the Problem. Took a few loops around the block before the GPS reacquired. I used to spend a bit of time in the area, but it was always on foot. First time really driving in that area (coming in from West suburbs, normally, I'd take Metra and walk/cab it), and first time to NW hospital (wife needed to see a specialist)

Yeah that can be a pain. The GPS will tend to swing around for a couple seconds before getting a lock again.

uck. Just noticed the spelling error. Wagner -> Wacker. Was on mobile at the time of the original post, and must have autocorrected.
