Nav System Differences

[ramblnman]

I live in one of those gated communities

for the filthy rich. I keep a Garmin portable GPS in my Camry.

When I am coming home it instructs me to turn off the main

highway into the entrance. After that it gives me the wrong

directions to my house. With the NAV system in my RX350 as

I near the entrance to my community it announces that it cannot

give me turn by turn instructions in that particular area.

Why the difference between the 2 systems and I thought

the guidance originated from one place USAF satellites?

GPS gives your computer its' current location, but without updated map data it doesn't know whether or not there is a road there.

I fly with GPS, but I use Jeppview to land and takeoff.

What's odd is that I can go to Mapquest.com

and it will direct me to my front door with

no problem. Do they utilize the same data as

GPS?

I don't know if they do or not.
