I agree that you shouldn't follow the NAV's route guidance blindly. The Honda NAV is not just route guidance though, it also has all the maps you need at various levels of detail. You can skip the route guidance alltogether and just use the maps, zooming in and scrolling around as necessary, just as you would with a paper map. Best of all is to use a combination; let the NAV do route guidance, but keep your eye on the map that the route is overlayed onto and make sure it makes sense.
So far, I've found the Honda NAV to be very useful and accurate.
