Why is there a big huge pile of trucks in Secaucus, New Jersey?

Because the Garmin GPS system ...

... is leading some drivers ... straight into a dead end. ...

The electronic maps don't show a gate that separates residential and industrial areas. It's only opened for a couple hours on weekdays in the northern New Jersey city.

Mayor Dennis Elwell says residents on Fifth Street started complaining about trucks clogging their street about a year ago ... Some drivers have to call police to open the gate because their trucks are too big to turn around.

This has led to a call for Open Source GPS databases.
