GPS reception around Sturgis area?
Is it reliable? Got everything programmed in + just realized, might lose satelites in that area.

GPS is fine. Cellphone sux! You get signal, but too many people so you can't connect or get any bandwidth for cellular internet.

Rainstorm might interrupt GPS navigation. Abort

I lived in the Northwest for 7 years. Never had rain block GPS reception.

I've worked in the PNW on tugboats for 25 years, I haven't either.

The Black Hills area will have hit and miss cell service but GPS should be fine.

The maps on these Sturgis rally pages can go to full screen using the map menu bar. All destination points on the map have *****-on-accurate decimal GPS coordinates as well as do the popular riding roads north-south or east-west start points depicted on the map.
