Leads Me Astray
I thought this was a great way to save on data usage when Im traveling. Well, it saves my data (somewhat), but its not my favorite GPS.
Most importantly, it has been rather wrong on how to get to specific addresses. I was looking for the Old Navy in Grand Junction, CO, and it was wrong by about a mile, despite my entering the correct address. Google maps got me un-lost. Thats a problem, and it almost completely defeats the purpose.
Im also disappointed that there is no way to search for a point of interest near your current route. My really old Garmin nuvi GPS unit would locate, say, a Wendys near your programmed path, and you could add that to the route without canceling the overall plan. Not so with this one. It only searches for the points of interest nearest you without regard to whether you are actually headed that direction (vs it being behind you) and cancels your previous route, should you choose to make that detour.
My final complaint is that the maps just arent very pretty to look at. It could be so much nicer.
All in all, its a disappointment, and Im regretting having purchased the one-year subscription.
