gps mapping systems
How good are the Points of Interest maps with GPS systems?
Specifically, do these maps generally tend to have fairly extensive retail/restaurant/business listings? I have used the Hertz NeverLost system and was pretty pleased with it as it had a pretty large database of business listings and was pretty current. I want to know if the typical GPS manufacturers can compare with this in regards to their POI maps.
The NeverLost system is made by Magellan, so what it has will be on par with what is produced by Garmin and TomTom as well. All of these GPS manufacturers get their data from the same two companies – TeleAtlas and NAVTEQ. The Point of Interest data tends to be more out-of-date than the road data, so you have to take their currency and positional accuracy with a grain of salt. About the GPS receiver itself, I recommend going with Garmin or TomTom, as Magellan has abysmal customer support that consists of off-shored script readers.
