I have had my F700 for a few weeks. I live in South Arkansas and have tested it in Magnolia, Texarkana, and Little Rock. Using both POI's and addresses the unit seems to put the destinations anywhere from a few hundred feet to a mile away from the actual destination about 75 % of the time. The gps knows where I am and is very accurate, but the destinations are way off. Anybody else have this problem?

i have a smiliar issue with some POIs here in Virginia as well. specifically I selected a Best Buy from the POI list which is in a shopping center off of Interstate 95. the nav directed me to basically pull over on the shoulder of 95 and told me I had reached my destination. In other words, it didnt direct me to exit 95 and make the 2 or 3 necessary turns to get into the shopping center.

Everyone I know in arkansas has problems with there gps, that includes garmins and tomtoms. It will tell you to take turns through rice and corn fields. I find it pretty funny! But thats in northern arkansas.
