GPS systems and navigation apps sometimes face challenges navigating Vermont's roads.

A car that ended up in Lake Champlain made headlines after the out-of-town sightseers behind the wheel said they were steered out onto the ice by the Waze driving app.

We're talking about the challenges for navigation apps in a state like Vermont, with plenty of dirt roads and snowmobile trails, and a lower population of users. 

We're joined by Bill Morris, a cartographer and senior analyst at Faraday, a data analytics firm based in Burlington.
