I have a Tom Tom portable GPS which is about five years old. I update the maps regularly and have had good luck with it most of the time. As for the mispronunciation of street name etc. I almost never use the voice commands as I find them annoying. I just follow the on screen directions and find that works best for me. I sometimes use the Australian voice because everyone gets a kick out of her telling me to go right on the rotary. My buddy has an on board gps and his is not nearly as accurate as mine.
