Help this non tech speak person understand.
All I know is that I put in the place I want to go, and it gives
directions. If I stray from the directions it reroutes itself and
gives me new directions. (Frequent destinations can be saved in the database)
Recently I took a few trips and used it extensively. I preprogrammed
a few locations into it, and used it to know where I was plus where I
wanted to go.
The directions did not fail me once. It even showed me routes I did
not know about.
I live in Southern Alabama, the home of backwoods and rural roads,
and it does very well in routing on these roads. It does not always
show roads that I see, but it has been very good over all.
Just recently I saw one of the mapping companies in town with their
Van (Toyota) with Radar receiver on top and four cameras mounted at
each corner of the roof taking mapping data.
Understand that these maps also tend to be a couple of years old at
best. (No matter who you go to!) So today when I was on my way back
home, it showed me off the road when I was on a new strip of highway.
You can buy other maps for this and download them, not that expensive
at all. (Plus if you must have celebrity voices give you directions
you can do this also.)
