Interesting discussions, even more interesting interpretations of an individual's written expression. I bought a second Garmin GPS last year, updated immediately and never looked back. How much do the maps really change between versions? I've had no problems with the lane changes. I have, however, had problems negotiating in and about high-rise buildings. It seems my Garmin gets stuck on "Recalculating" in those areas. That is why I always carry my bride with me. She can read a map. Anyone who relies entirely on an electronic device to navigate through traffic is at risk for being in-- or creating an --accident. The same goes for negotiating in the woods with an electronic device; take a backup--take a map!
