Exactly. On a recent credit card tour, the Nuvi said the motel, a large chain, was a mile and a half from where we found it. Thinks my house is at the opposite end of my street. All gps software is filled with such bugs. I'm told to email the errors to Garmin. They send out software updates 4 times/year.
