We resisted for decades but finally gave up on DeLorme and bought the RV890 and have been about 95% pleased. It has not tried to lead us down a goat trail yet and has be quite reliable.
I think I wrote a short review after using it for 8000 miles that is up here somewhere
Yeah here it is: first 8000 miles
It still has not got better with the first distance estimates it makes when you search for something like grocery store. It's location database (meaning stores and such) is not up to date, we wanted to go to one store a couple of days ago and when we got the location was no store to be found, turns out it moved 5 miles away quite awhile ago.
But we can live with that. The best but irritating tactic is to get an address from goggle and trans fer the address to the garmin since it beat goggle hands down at turn by turn.
