My friend told me they had updated it since buying it, but she doesn't remember how long ago, she said within the last 2 years. As of right now we only plan to use it for this one trip, so I will check it before hand to make sure the navigation is correct for the route we want to take. I just can't see buying an update if I will only use it once in a great while. Normally I just use the GPS on my phone...
Have you considered in the planning stage to look at Google maps for now.
It is easy select your start and with
Get destination you go to the first way point. Then add on the next stops and so on.
This will give you a written turn by turn instruction and allow you to figure times and distances well before hand.
For actual driving the TomTom is the superior option.
O/T
There is an Albany connection with my TomTom.
When the GO 930 was advertised in 2008 it was offered by Amazon but only for shipping to US addresses, not Canadian ones.
I ordered one, using SWMBO's school chum's Schoolhouse Rd address. A day later I received a confirmation from Crutchfield saying that they would fill the order and that
they would cancel the transaction if they couldn't ship by a certain date.
That date was 3-4 days after I was flying to the UK, the main reason for getting a GPS and, it still would have to get up here to Toronto.
Amazone ignored my requests (IIRC) but Crutchfield was very understanding and cancelled the order and informed Amazone correspondingly.
If I had to deal with a mail order house in the States and prices were equal, without a second thought, Crutchfield would win my business.
Will be again at Schoolhouse Rd on June 7/8/9.
