This seems to be a problem with the TT pnd. I try to rely on coordinates if possible. My own house is a block off from where my 510 says it is. I even entered an address on Google Earth and and cam up being 5 homes down from where it actually is. I only use addresses as a guide to where I am going and do not rely on them. Good luck!!

Its not 100%, I was directed off the highway and to turn left and my destination was the middle of a hay field. I turned around crossed the street where I turned left (should have turned right) and my real destination was 2 blocks on the right.

With the odd ball places I go I will check Google as well, I Googled the address above and it was spot on.

yeah a hay field I can see that happening. I talked to someone that has a garmin and they used an address location and she said it took them right to the spot... I am about ready to return it I don't understand that if you use a POI from the tom tom it will take your right there. Another thing that I don't get we was going out a highway that I helped build about 6yrs ago and the tom tom thought I was out in the field. It didn't even show the highway. Eventually it showed me back on the road where the new road was built over the old one. ....
