Got lost near Mount Rogers for 2 hours because I trusted my phone over the blaze marks
Was doing a 12 mile loop near Mount Rogers in Virginia two weekends ago and my phone kept telling me to take a left at a fork that had no trail. I followed it anyway for about a mile downhill through brush before I hit a dead end and had to climb back up. Turns out the real trail was marked with white blazes on a tree about 20 feet to my right that I walked past twice. The map on my phone was from a route someone uploaded in 2019 and the trail got rerouted since then. How do you all handle old GPS tracks when the blazes say something different?

Why would you trust some random 2019 upload over actual paint on a tree that's sitting right in front of you?
