*GPS Navigation Equipment is great, especially while on vacation and in an area you are unfamiliar with. However, for some reason, many GPS Navigation systems are giving incorrect directions to the Powder House Lodge and other Black Hills attractions. Sadly, there is nothing we can do about this; the manufacturers of the systems need to fix the programming. This is also true of many travel sites such as Yahoo maps, Google maps, and MapQuest. Many sites and newer software updates for GPS systems have begun to correct this, however, not all have. Please be aware of this. Of course, if you need further assistance or have questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at 1-605-666-4646.
