Nice post, very cool info, especially about LexusLink coverage.
Now was that road on your nav as a regular road or a rural (yellow, visible only at > 1000 scale) road? I've been unable to figure out how to get the nav to include rural roads in auto-calc.

Rural.
I had to zoom way in to see it. I used the "select preferred road" feature in order to put it on the route. It obeyed, but routed me back out pretty quick. I had to choose a couple of roads to make it use this route. I also got a warning that "there are areas with incomplete data. Turn by turn guidance will not be available."
I wish it had given me a more explicit warning, i.e. "pavement and then eventually road will not be available." but I don't think it could tell that the road changed. The disk probably had some incorrect data.
I'm pretty sure I was on some old mining roads. I found a State of Nevada web page that showed maintained roads for the county, and it showed the road ending right where I left the pavement.

A little OT, but with post #2, it is easy to see why thing s happen to people like the Kim's who got stuck for ~9 days in the coast range in Oregon, and the father died trying to get help.
Glad the trip turned out well for you, the 100 is a great rig!

Ok, that's about what I found too. I had to keep adding them as preferred roads until I just said **** **** and eyeballed it.
Very cool tech dog. I use to live in SW Utah and I've driven some roads that look like that, but without running into though sand dunes 
But I know what your talking about. I use to live 10 miles from the pink corral sand dunes, same power stuff, feels like sugar. Your luck you got through it.
