Survey: GPS Not Popular in Montana

Montana is an amazing state full of beautiful, smart, hard working people. There are so many reasons to appreciate this state and the people who live here.

When it comes to driving in Montana, it isn't always the best. There are a lot of people who tend to speed and also drive impaired. Montana ranks as one of the most dangerous states for teen and impaired drivers alike.

Montana also is only one of two states that doesn't have distracted driver laws. With the amount of smart phone use these days, this is something that Montana may want to consider.

It isn't all bad news when it comes to driving in Montana. There is a new survey that shows that more and more drivers are relying on GPS for directions. Somewhere in our storage is a Rand McNally road atlas map of the U.S. It was so big, one person had to read it and give directions to the driver.

Thanks to GPS technology, almost every road, street, and boulevard in the country can be found at the tips of our fingers.

Montana's Reputation for Dangerous Driving

Montanans still don't rely nearly as much on GPS as other states.

According to a survey from Murphy & Prachthauser Attorneys at Law they have found that Montana is the third lowest state for drivers who rely on GPS. The only two states that rank lower than Montana are Louisiana and Vermont.

The state that relies most on GPS is New York, followed by Massachusetts and Connecticut.

It would make sense that Montanans don't rely on GPS as much as other states. After all we don't have nearly as many drivers, roads or big cities as other states.
