Included Maps are Outdated
on October 6, 2010
Posted by: hippyforlife
from Tulsa, OK
The maps that are included on this machine are much more outdated than you are led to believe.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.
What's great about it: Nice touch screen, clear voice
What's not so great: Old, inaccurate maps & terrible lag time
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
