[BC] GPS

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

Methinks they all have bad maps. The Garmin I have in my
truck gets really confused when I drive past the fire station
on Water Street in Haverhill with my home destination
three miles away in Groveland. It doesn't know that the
road now goes right past the fire station while apparently
sometime in the past 100 years it dead-ended. 

I have been routed out dead-end roads, out roads with
bridges missing for many years, roads that suddenly
become housing developments with no way out, etc.

I've attempted to contact Garmin, but they don't answer
their Email nor their US Postal mail, plus they don't
update databases if the unit is more than ONE YEAR
old!!!!

I'm not going to buy another simply because they have
declared it obsolete. It's another company that has
been overtaken by accountants and thieves.
