--- Quote ---I asked this same question a while back and after lots of research, we finally settled on a Tom Tom. Since the kids decided they liked the English female voice though, we call it Tam Tam...We love it and my husband takes it everywhere he goes. It does get a bit weird though when you start talking back to it ;D.. We picked it up on a special sale at Best Buy for $199.00..I have never seen it that cleap anywhere again...

My Pioneer AVIC-S1 has saved me countless hours of aimless driving around cities where I have no clue on how to find the best route.
My biggest issue...getting it upgraded. :-/

Steve,
It looks like a fairly new model for Pioneer. I would imagine that updates will become available every so often. Streets don't change that drastically and new developments take a while to get onto other maps as well. Heck, I was using a mapping program from 1999 before I got this to check if Mapquest is giving me accurate directions.
When I bought the C220 it was a replacement for an older model and about 2 months after I bought it an update came out for the previous model - I have yet to see an update for mine yet. The maps are about 1 year old on it so I feel fairly confident that very little is missing.
Of course as technlogy moves on, all these devices will be obsolete and we'll be forced to buy new ones ... No more cassette players in cars, DVD audio came and went, VCR's are almost extinct. SD cards will be gone, auto uplinks from the web via cell phone technology will probably be the thing and you'll be able to talk to it and have it find anything you want and guide you there.
Funny thing is that people on car forums feel that these are not as good as the onboard units. I laugh as we can use it in any car and bring them on vacation with us assuming that we have the maps to take with us. The only thing about onboard units are they are usually large screens. Honestly, having a unit with a rolling display on the windshield, telling me to turn left or right in so many feet, with the name of the street on top and a graphical display with an orange route of where I'm supposed to go is good enough for me.
It's a "toy" I'm glad I bought.
Vinny
