Digital camera reviews of Garmin nüvi 205 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
Digital camera Review: 2009 map does not have correct Washington DC roads
Summary: 3 Stars
Last weekend I drove to DC and bought this GPS a few days before the trip, thinking it could help me on the road including those one-way signs in the city. But in DC I was really annoyed by this gadget that kept telling me to turn left when there are No-Left-Turn signs at the intersection! I had to turn it off to rely on a real map I brought as a back up.
On a positive note, the GPS did a good job in helping me locate a gas station near DCA airport.
I am returning it to the store. Garmin you need to update your map in DC. You may check all other cities too :)
