NEW SHARON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) — False data entered into GPS systems and directional sites like mapquest.com is causing problems in New Sharon.
There are only three homes on Shadagee Rd., along with Georgia Tolman’s snowshoe repair shop. It dead ends and turns into a snowmobile trail.
Though there are signs that say dead end, a number of people have been directed to head down the muddy or often snow-covered trail by their mapping systems, saying the road was a through-way to the town of Industry.
So, Georgia Tolman usually has to pull them out with her pickup truck.
Tolman says between 2 and 3 people a week come down the road looking for a through way. She says she’s asked the town for a sign, but eventually had to put her own up.
