Is anyone using a GPS that has good coverage of the South side?

I have a garmin Nuvi 750 (now out of production) that I updated to the latest maps back in about June. It covers a lot of the roads on the south end. It did not cover the newer side streets over in St Charles.

I would give you some examples but I am in the process of upgrading the computer from Vista to Windows 7 Pro and am doing a total rebuild of the system. I have the important stuff like e-mail and internet moved over and now will be working on the Garmin stuff. Once the Garmin Map Source is loaded and updated I can give you some street names.

Most of the GPS manufactures get their maps from NavTeq as does Map Quest. Map Quest came out with an update to their on line maps and a few months later Garmin came out with theirs. At that time the south side was covered.

Just grabbed the GPS and entered in the address and you are 834.6 miles from here (as the crow flies). You are on the latest map that I have in the Garmin.
