Garmin offers map updates on their website...it does cost extra for that but I've had mine for awhile and havent run into any roads or areas where the gps sent me the wrong way (except for areas where construction is unavoidable).
As with anything...you get what you pay for. If you want to hear street names on the voice you pay extra. If you want real time traffic you pay extra. It all depends on what you're using the gps for and what fits your needs best. For me, it's mostly local driving and a few longer trips. I will tell you this...my gps has already paid for itself in just the ease of driving and finding places alone. I never thought I would need one but even looking up local restaurants I haven't been to in Boston is worth the price...delivers you right on their front door.
