Again, how exactly does it "suck" to your friend?Originally Posted by sHpReLuDe
As for the inaccurate part, I don't see how it's possible. My wife, honestly, can get lost in a cul-de-sac. She's a Real Estate appraiser. You may wonder how that works out since we all know that appraisers have to drive all over the place as part of their work. Matter of fact, my wife drives over 35,000 miles A YEAR. That's an oil change per month type driving. She wouldn't know where NORTH was even if she followed behind the 3 wise men and their camels. She really has ZERO sense of direction.
With that said, she plugs in the address to her destinations and drives those 35,000 miles without many problems at all. Trust me if it can get HER to her destination, it can get ANYONE to their destination. Yes, some of the newest subdivisions/roads don't show up, but that's on every GPS until it gets updated somehow.
Trust me when I tell you that my wife LOVES her TomTom. She literally would not be working if she had to depend on Mapquest to get her where she's going. Not feasible for her at all to do that. So again, I totally don't understand how some people are saying that the TomTom doesn't do what it's supposed to. If you're looking for .0002 inch accuracy, then sign up to join the Army and sit on top of a missile or something because that's the only time you need that kind of accuracy. If a 4 in by 4 in piece of plastic can get me to the STREET where I need to be and all I have to do is look for a number on a mailbox or a billboard to get me to where I wanna go......that to ME is success. I don't know what else everyone is expecting out of a $200 device.
