Re: Which Garmin Nuvi Model is Good?

The recalculate option works very fast and if you do not want to deviate from your course you do not and the GPS will immediately recalculate again. We check our route on the map against the suggest route and then we often compare the GPS directions. When you see on the GPS directions that the GPS wants to take you on a road you do not want we make a mental note and we go our way. One of the directions we often watch is customer directions often the customer will give very specific directions to their location and the GPS will want to short cut when this happens we follow the customer’s directions and let the GPS keep up with us. Even in this situation the GPS is very handy as the GPS shows you the name of the next road you are coming to. We have found the GPS just keeps us more on the edge of knowing what lane we need to be in and when our turn is coming up.

The one thing to remember is the GPS is a tool and right now the driver is still the master!! Of course some day that may change but right now we override our system. That is another reason we turned the voice off was we found ourselves arguing with her.
