Oh, you don't know my wife, if the address isn't exact she won't find her way home. She needs the GPS to find our mailbox down the street. Anyway the Garmin 2011 update covers all of Buttonwood. I haven't checked it out yet so don't know if it covers St. James and newer areas. When you buy a new Garmin, you are given a free upgrade within 60 days of purchase if a new upgrade is available. This is good since the Garmin you just bought may have been settng in a warehouse for a year or two, with old maps. I bought the Novi 1100 at Wallyworld for $99. It's small and simple and does everything my wife needs. It had an old map in it and the upgrade gave me just what I wanted that our old GPS didn't have. The old Gps just died and wasn't worth fixing if I could get a new one for $99.
