What are the opnions of the navigation capibilities of the Z series? I love the ability to mod this unit, but I have a need for some serious navigation capability.

No one has thoughts on the Z series ability to navigate?

I've had mixed success with the navigation on the Z2 with 2007 maps. For example it tells you theres a Burger King right in front of you and your in the middle of a strech of road that has nothing on it.

 

It's also hit and miss with direct addresses as well, sometimes it routes to the wrong side of the road and sometimes the address is a mile or two off. My Garmin is much much better. Do some searching if you can because there was a thread about this a few months ago.

 

Just my two cents. Others have had grest success with their Z2's.

From my experience I like them. However i find the z3 a lot better because (keeping in mind we are talking about naving here) it takes you right to the front door or destination of where you are going. Like other z2,z1 models, they will take you to the area but not to the front door as the z3 does.

sorry to hijack, but how are the points of interest on the Z3? I have a Z2 now, and for the life of me, I rarely ever seem to find what I'm looking for.
