Just took the Tom Tom on the first trip outside of my hometown of Las Vegas. We went to Phoenix, AZ. I'd say that at least three of every four POI's we wanted to look up were not there. At one point, I pulled into a shopping plaza and looked up all POI's near me. Only one of the fifteen or so businesses was listed.
Back in Vegas...today we did some driving around. Searched for four different POI's...a bank, a restaurant, a clothing store, and another store...it found ZERO out of those four. We also managed to drive somewhere where there were quite a few roads that have been there awhile, and Tom Tom said there were NO roads anywhere close.
In comparision, the bottom of the line Garmin I had three years ago probably found 9 out of 10 POI's I searched for.
Am I missing something here?
I LOVE the features that Tom Tom gives you for the money, but it doesn't do me much good if it can't find the places I want to go!
FYI, I have the latest Tom Tom firmware and North American maps.
