    Included Maps are Outdated

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The maps that are included on this machine are much more outdated than you are led to believe. I just moved to a new town, so I finally decided that I would give up on my paper map books that have never led me astray for a gps. Wrong answer. The first time I tried to take my dogs to a new boarding facility, the gps said it did not exist when I entered the street address. The facility was built almost 5 years ago. I thought maybe this was a fluke, but I have found 3 different places like that in the first month of use. The lag time for recalculation of the route due to a detour is also extremely slow--so much so that you miss the recalculated suggested turn because it doesn't announce it until you drive past it. Definately not worth the $250 I paid for it.

    Tells you left or right up ahead before you get there. Pretty cool. Some exits are on left instead of right.

    Disappointing

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Very easy to use right out of the box. Maps do not appear to be up to date even with the one time free update from Garmin. Used this unit to reach Fedex Field in Maryland and unit would tell us to turn AFTER we passed the exits. Sitting in my own driveway the unit will tell me that my home is 200 feet away. My in-laws home is .one tenth of a mile off. Sales associate thought it was the unit so I exchanged it but the new one is just as bad. I am going to return it and buy another brand. Sorry Garmin but I don't need any help floundering around in an unfamiliar place. I can do that all by myself.
