This unit thinks I'm driving in Corn fields !  Road that have been around for 5+ years are not showing up on map.  Works great for cities, but try and find a address on a highway !   Highways that have been around for 50 years show up on the display and tell you where your at, but try and use the useless interface and type the place your at in for a address.   Impossible!  Could be a wonderful device, but I've contacted customer service and have them try to enter a address and nothing.   If you know a rural address, go to WWW.viamichelin.com      and type in a rural destination and see what happens.  Spend 40 dollars more and buy a Garmin unit like my son did.  A bargain isn't a bargain if you can't find a address for this unit to take you to.  :(<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken Geen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 10th 2007 7:23AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
