That update is interesting. These all use government GPS satellites so
there must have been another way for that info to get into the machine.

I don't know how it worked. I am quite sure that the first time I tried to
program the address it simply did not have it in the data. I tried several
times. Yet, on this recent trip, I tried again before I left MA and it had
the name of the road and address.

It offers weather, traffic conditions and will re-route you around heavy
traffic congestion, but I think you have to have your cell phone connected
to it via bluetooth for these real-time services. The data comes from the
Internet. I haven't used any of this stuff.

I almost bought the Garmin because it's a good product with excellent
customer service. They were out of the model I wanted, so I decided to try
the TomTom. So far, I like it.
