The first day I tried it I decided to go to places I already knew the directions...the first was Mitchells Restaurant. As I headed West on Union Centre Blvd...the Restaurant was on my LEFT...the Garmin said.."Turn RIGHT on Allen...absolutly the wrong way to go. Then the same day I programmed it to take me to Bethesda North Hospital. As I am heading South on Montgomery Road...the hospital is to my left...the Garmin is screaming at me to turn RIGHT on Pfeiffer Road...I have no idea where it was going to take me...but it wouldn't be BN Hospital. Well....if everytime I might turn this thing on I was going to doubt its reliability...it was a complete waist to me. I took it back the next day and got my money back...now back to the tried and true way...maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth.
What's great about it: At first I was impressed by how easy it worked and how clear the directions were...I was excited
What's not so great: Gave bad directions first time out = two different times the same day
