Whose maps are more accurate? Garmin, Magellan or TomTom?
Interesting segment on the Today show 3/4/08. ...
I picked up a Navagon 2100 and I find it to be awesome. I has some peoples driveways on it that were forced to be named for the enhanced 911 system. I have also noticed that routing seems to be as good or better than Garmin. These observations are around here of course. I will have a better idea of it's capabilities when we go to California in May.
I know Garmin uses Navteq and my City Navigator 8.0 which I got June of 06 still doesn't have the Route 3 bridge on it, in Augusta. I guess my GPS just thinks it's a leap of faith, every time I go that way.
Maybe we can get a Tom Tom on the next trip Downeast.
It is scary that they will route you down a one way street :eek:
Try to explain to the officer why you were listening to the voices in your car!!:rolleyes:
"TomTom told me to do it!"
True story . . . I may have told this one before.
I was parked in front of Bangor's City Hall and was leaving to go up the one-way street when a car approached me going down the wrong way of this one-way street. I flagged the driver down and asked what she was doing while informing her that this was a one-way street.
Her reply: "But my Tom Tom says to go this way."
My reply: "Well my knickname is Jay Jay and Jay Jay says this is a one-way street and you can't drive this way."
:D
There is a free update for the Garmin, if anyone is interested. I don't know how much more accurate it is, but at least they have the new '95 exit numbers correct now. You can order the CD from their website.
