I have a Garmin. It works okay in town, but I live in the country, and it has a little trouble finding exactly where I am (it keeps telling me that my address is about 300 yards south of where it really is, no matter how I insist).

Also, it has a Very Odd Idea of the most direct route. It keeps wanting me to go about three miles out of my way to get anywhere.

Otoh, I really do enjoy talking to it as I drive. Particularly when I think I detect a note of desperation in the persistent "Recalculating route!"
message. (Okay, I'm just mean to mechanical objects.)

If your address is mis-located in Google, Yahoo, or MSN Maps, or in MapQuest, it will also be mis-located in the GPS.
