Technology and information systems are being improved daily. The NAV system in your TCH is leap years ahead of the computer systems in the Apollo space program from not as far back as I care to remember.
I can find fault in a 2007 issue Rand McNally when it comes to finding my home address. I'm sure the TCH NAV system coming in my vehicle will show me living on the 2nd green rather than alongside the 5th fairway. I'm sure I won't drive over the practice green because the car tells me too!

Hey you are on GEA aren't you?
But anyway, I don't have an issue with it thinking my home is at 111 1st ave rather than the actual address....I do have a slight issue with it telling me that I live at 111 1st ave and then when I try to set that as my home address that it tells me that 1st ave doesn't exist in my town, after telling me I am at 111 1st ave. Also the whole exit thing is just dumb...I have tried this route on Nav systems from cars that are 5 years old with 5 year old software and they do it perfectly...this 07 with new software (I checked the disk and it is from 05) should be able to get this right...it isn't rocket sience.
If a $700 Garmin can do it my $2k Toyota system darn well beter be able to do it. Here Yahoo driving directions got it exactly right.
