The conversion still is unfinished
I often notice that when I’m driving somewhere new, and am not sure where I am going, that my GPS does not always get me to where I need to go. I’m not sure if it is out-dated maps, or sun spots, or some crazy hacker messing with the satellite, but I frequently find that the GPS tells me that I’ve arrived at my destination, but the address plaque does not correspond with the address that I have input into my GPS.
I also have noticed that many times the homeowners have simply put new address plaques and numbers from the E-911 conversion process right beside the old address plaques. This gets me even more confused because I don’t know which one is correct unless one is obviously really old and beat up! I am reluctant to buy the new download for my GPS so soon after I bought it (I only bought it four years ago) because I really don’t think that the maps are updated that often to make it worth the investment.
I think that when someone buys a GPS unit, they should be provided with free maps for life. What do you think?
