GPS is trash in this game.

Shows me the wrong way all the time so I have to literally check it myself. Like fix this crap.

If you rely solely on GPS, you are driving blind me old mate. Before your journey, get a mental picture from the map, that way, if the GPS tries to shoot you in the foot, you can dodge it.

1. What do you mean by the "Wrong way", can you please post a screenshot to illustrate it.

2. "The wrong way" can have something to do with which gps setting you have chosen in game settings:
What setting have you chosen for your gps in game settings?
- There are the following 3 options:
Best
Shortest
Small roads

3. Real life gps are not always 100% reliable either.
So don't let the GPS be your boss.
Therefore, follow the good advice @garyh2462 gives above.

4. Do you use mods?

I had a Tom Tom Satnav and it "suggested" I turn off at next junction of motorway and take a 45 mile diversion for no reason at all.
It was always trying to send me down minor roads. God help any truck/autohome drivers who try to use it.
I knew the road so ignored it and there was no reason for diversion.
I now use Google maps on phone and it's so much better.

i just wished the yellow line was thinner, as at some intersections its difficult to see what road you need

Maybe there is a mod for that.

Meanwhile, if you are at a complex intersection, zoom in the GPS map (F5) it is quite easy to see where you should go. Drive slowly because it is a real close-up zoom level...

For normal use, on a medium zoom level you can often see what direction you exit the intersection (straight ahead, left or right turn, ...). Get a mental picture of the intersection and it should be quite easy to take the right exit.

I usually always look at the route before leaving, because I want to discover all the roads, so I set myself a route, sometimes I follow the one suggested by the gps, sometimes I change it a bit, sometimes I go another way.

When I'm already on the road, I try to interpret the arrows on the gps, and when for example it insists that I go to the right lane, and I think it's useless because then I have to go back to the same lane I was in, I look at the map, to make sure, and ignore the gps.

Nicely put.

maybe you should change game setting about GPS. navigation have different mode, like best or small road.

Then don't use it. You should not rely blindly to that anyway. Always review the suggested route, just like you do IRL.

Or change settings. Maybe the default setting is not for you.

You drive the truck, not the GPS. As everyone already said navigator can be very dumb IRL
