Plus, it costs $139 for Garmin ast time I looked to update. 97% accurate although, It's for this reason I didn't buy a GPS. I prefer the old fashioned street guides. There was a very good one in St. Louis, and there is a very one for Oahu. I have found them to be very accurate, and it only costs $15.0. It last about a year before the much used pages tear out. I also look at it when I'm waiting for a customer so that I can get better acquainted with the island. And, it's one less electronic devise to learn.

The only disadvantage I can think of is the new streets nd sub divisions that are built afterward. They don't show up on the GPS nless you update it yearly which I do not do. I did for the first year ecause it was included in the cost however, even then it did not update all f the latest sub developments where I live. Plus, it costs $139 for Garmin ast time I looked to update. 97% accurate although, I hear some people rive into rivers and lakes because it says "turn here."
