Updated maps are not accurate or current

Verified Purchase:Yes

I have an old Nuvi that needed map updates, I decided to purchase a new one with life time maps updates. As soon as I got the new Nuvi I connected it to my computer and completed maps updates. With the so called update maps I planed a trip to Silver Springs. The GPS maps took me 4 miles further North and then back to the road that goes to the Park. It did locate the hotel where we stayed after visiting the park. When I selected a restaurant from those shown on the unit, it sent me on a trip of over 5 miles to a deserted shopping center. The restaurant I wanted was one quarter mile from where I started. When I requested a detour due to a traffic backup near Atlanta on South bound I-75, the GPS sent me almost to Alabama, before I turned it off and asked for directions at a gas station; I was 20 miles away from where I could have gotten back to I-75. My old Nuvi outdated maps was more accurate, but it was not up to date with new roads and restaurants. The new Garmin updated maps leave a lot to be desired. I wish I could download Google maps to the Garmin. The traffic alert lets you know ahead of time about traffic delays and that you are stuck in a traffic jam. It does not show all the school zones, specially in rural areas, it does not show all the roads in rural areas either, be careful if you drive in country roads.
