The ambulance crew were stupid in that instance, driving 200 miles instead of 12 . these systems are only as good as the info put in. I am still going to get the tomtom rider as its quite cheap. The garmin wont probably come down on price much for a while being so new, I used a garmin system in florida with our hire car and was impressed, it took us everywhere, never once getting us lost, it may have not been the quickest route but unless your local you wouldnt know.
