Subject: Howard has some disturbing information.



Little River, TX
I was hoping the more expensive systems would have a better map than my little nuvi 200.
The map the 200 has is in some cases 20 years out of date.
As an exercise I decided to all the 200 navigate me out of Waco to I-35 South & home.
It took me over some roads that one time were the only roads there, but the main traffic arteries have been changed since 1960. To give it credit it was still paved on the route I was directed over. True one of those roads is now a place to park behind a warehouse!

In town it get confused about which side of the road is the even addresses. Tried to find my Grandson going to Texas Tech. We turned into an empty parking lot and called him on the phone. It just so happened he was standing on the front porch and saw the Pickup Truck.

Some places the little thing does not even know there is now an interstate and interstate loop system. Other times that is the only road it does know.

Then my little jewel has demonstrated it's error circle can be 600 feet or more. Took me right past Dutch's house.
