I have used Microsoft Streets and Trips on a lap top (took me down a dead end street one time), Garmin 350 (tried to get me to take me on a 4x4 road the back way into Great Sand Dunes NP, I didn't), Garmin 765 (works pretty well except it tries to take me to a destination via routes I already know are not the fastest even though that is what it is set for).

I have learned to use google maps before ever leaving into unknown destinations, studying the highways, picking what I want, and then use the built in GPS in the truck or SUV mostly for the "miles to next turn", "miles to destination", and "estimated time of arrival" functions. Also helpful as I near the final destination and am not sure of the last few twist and turns. Proper lane to be in on multiple lane highways is also useful.
