I have tried two types of gps, Garmin and Magellan. Both will failings. Am looking for best option. Google is good but I have to use data so I'd like one that doesn't require data. Any thoughts?

Garmin has always been one of the best.They been around a long time and I used one in the airplane. You need to make sure you have the settings correct in any GPS you use. Particularly the shortest distance versus main highways setting. I've used Magellan also, it's good but not as intuitive as Garmin. There's also TomTom, but I've never used one.

Got 2 Garmins. One old and one newer. Both function well if you keep the maps and software up to date.
I do agree that I don't want to rely on a smartphone with a data requirement, so the Garmin standalone models work for me. They both have lifetime maps/software/traffic updates, and 4Square or uploaded POI files for POI info.
