The google maps feature on the Iphone is not much better. Put us in Downtown Baltimore on the way south from Rhode Island. In DC, it took the scenic route. Once in Florida, we came thru the Ocala forest. Looking for a location off 441, it brought be along the side of Walmart to the dumpster and said arrived.

I dont need bluetooth, or any cameras. I want to stick to highways on the way back.
Thanks for reading.

I use an Android phone to get me to RI. It uses Google and has saved me time avoiding delays on I-95.
Had Garmin before. It was not consistently accurate but that was years ago.
