   Oh, yes, there are all sort of errors in all navigators.   
      
   My TomTom insists on me taking a highway that doesn't exist yet. But the   
   most typical issue is it directing me to take shortcuts that on the map   
   save a few seconds, but are actually bad choices. Narrow roads, bad   
   asphalt, or bad crossings in which I have to wait a minute, very busy   
   main road across. I call those "tomtom shortcuts".
