There are many things you should do before you drive anywhere. Check your oil. Check your tire pressure. Know the most common tools specific to your vehicle to address known issues. Extra socks and gloves. A wool blanket. Water. Snacks. Have you checked the condition of your spare tire? Can you easily access your car jack? Have you changed a tire on a slope? Do you have an ice scraper?
It's totally fine to admit that you have no experience driving in snow. It can be dangerous and too many people drive as they always would. I'd much rather be on an unplowed rural road with nobody on it than an interstate with drivers unable to adapt to bad weather. Gps is handy for getting around. Shouldn't have any bearing on choices you make during a snowstorm.

Reply to LPT: If driving in a snowstorm and your GPS suggests taking a faster route, don’t do it if it takes you off the Highway. Backroads are usually last to be cleared of snow and you could get stuck! by Bradiator34
