Oof, and she's missed the turn (on the map at least) that would have seen her go back on route and she's now moving along where google maps doesn't even show a track.
It's easy to do all of this analysis from the comfort of a chair with access to google maps. She almost certainly has no cellular signal and will just have bare maps on her GPS and a route line some way over to the East.
It's 2am where she is. Must be a horrible feeling.
(Not quite the same but I went off route on PBP and wasted an hour trying to get back on to the route even with a GPS with mapping. Backtracking would have cost just 15 minutes but at silly o'clock in the morning I decided I knew better and the idea of going backwards just didn't make sense to me at that time.)
