I went to Blythe, CA (10 freeway where it hits the Colorado River) over the weekend, which is about 200 miles from my house. The Nav system only showed a couple of roads in Blythe, and no points of interest.
I cant understand why the MDX Nav, which uses a DVD for its database, has less info than my Microsoft Streets and Trips 2002, which is on one CD. It shows all the streets in Blythe, and also has many points of interest.
Because the Nav did not show some of the streets I traveled on (one which is pretty big, and I know that street was there four years ago, and the Nav only shows a small section of the street), the Nav placed the breadcrumbs on the street. The streets which I thought ran N/S or E/W had breadcrumbs that would shift slightly out of line after 3 drops, as if the street was not really truely N/S or E/W. I dont know who was at fault.
Also, for some duration, the breadcrumbs was dropping north when I was going south. I then realized that the Nav was showing no satelites. I cant understand this, as the sky was clear, no rain, no clouds, no mountains, perfect visibility. Eventually it realized its error and found the one street again.
So why did I lose the satelites, and why can Microsoft's CD have more data than the MDXs DVD? And why did the breadcrumbs not get dropped in a straight line when I was driving on a straight line.
At least I found out how the breadcrumb feature works.
