It's only as good as the programmer, you know! I don't use routes for it around town when I know faster ways to get somewhere. Keep in mind there's plenty of routes to get to a destination and it's just picking one of them. They are very handy when you're somewhere unfamiliar, and I just put it in the glove box when finished. The $99 I paid for my Nuvi 200 was a great deal and it's been well worth it!
