Bare in mind that maps are done by government and GPS manufacturers can only add navigation programs.
Still with the base developed the way it is, you will find lot of misinformation.
I found yahoo or google maps the most accurate, but once on the trip in Virginia I had 3 different systems giving me 300 miles round route on freeways.
Talking with locals help me to figure out that I can make it 220 miles on very nice highway, that was ignored by mapping.
In my travels I like to confront $2000 GPS build into the car with $19 Delorme, where display on big screen will allow me to see whole map, zoom in/out and catch potential problems.
