Problems after uploading the V8 map on my unit

 

After i uploaded the v8 on my device, i haven't been that much happy with my C330 unit because the POI's aren't accurate anymore, i have experienced that on several occasions and ended being off the direction in entirely a different path not even close to my destination, thats was such a disappointment after paying $80 and not being able to take advantage of v8 maps. I would rather have the v7 the older version mapping system than this one. Just a piece of advice for you guys as well if you haven't updated it yet think twice prior to purchasing it.

Are you talking about V8 or 2008?

I have not experienced any problem with the upgrade until last Sunday. On my way back from charlotte N.C
my wife got Hungary so I checked the POIs for the nearest restaurant off of interstate 85. as I was following the directions from the gps I noticed that we were getting closer to the Shore line. After a couple of left turns and right turns it stated that the restaurant was 500 feet straight ahead. If I followed the directions my Hat would be flooding. And there was no restaurant in sight.

Maybe it was high tide? Or maybe,

It was taking you to a restaruant in Hungary, after swimming you'd really be hungry. That's funny.

No matter how often maps are updated, none of the poi will ever, ever be current.

Maybe it was a "Prepare Yourself Fresh Fish Market"?
