    Anyone else notice it's a bit, uh, special?? Like it makes up roads? 3 times it tells me to turn on roads that simply don't exist. Never existed. Ever. It would have a name and a path and everything. Anybody notice that?

    Yesterday mine was verbally telling me to take a right but the screen showed to take a left. The verbal commands were correct.

    Mine was a POS right out of the box. I'm really having regrets of buying it.

    I generally have no issues. It's been solid for 2 years now.

    I have a 760 dzl that's on 4.5 [for a while now] and it still says it's "up to date" . I like the garmin but it does have a lot of erroneous issues (bridge weight restrictions, heights, etc) that cause irregular routing in some common areas. I'm afraid to switch it to car mode thinking I may forget to switch it back when it may be critical.

    Just in the past hour my company has activated the navigation, Copilot on our Qualcomm. What do you know! The jury is out to deliberate on whether I will add that tablet now. The QCom screen has its limitations so, I'll give this a test and see how it works for me.

    I have been happy with my Dezl in general. Once in awhile it does something screwy but nothing real bad.

    The most annoying thing it does is when it routes you a certain way then say you check another route out then return it to the original route it sends you on completely different roads then the original route.
