Took a look at the general area in Google Maps satellite view. Man, what a lot of confusing logging roads and clear cuts! You were lucky to get out of there before winter came and snowed you in.
I generally do not trust GPS outside major settlements and highways. Even then I'm a bit wary. I especially do not trust GPS maps. What appears to be gently rolling terrain can often be pretty rough country, full of ravines, cliffs and other ways of getting yourself killed. If you do not have a decent topographic map and compass and know how to use them, you would be better off never leaving the McDonald's parking lot!
By the way, the two Arabic posts that precede this seem to relate to a Saudi Arabian cleaning and insect control company. I know this thanks to Google Translate.
If you ever find yourself in Riyadh and are dirty or infested with insects, I am sure that this information will be useful to you. If you are trying to navigate your way out of an Oregon wilderness, not so much.
Peter, It was dumb. I could have got to the end of the road with nowhere to turn around. GPS does work great on known paved roads and towns/cities, and yes, if i have cockroaches in my condo in Dubai, I'll know who to call.
