I have found if I can get coordinates, my Garmin never makes mistakes. But using text addresses for complex industrial areas is a crap shoot. Even happens in downtown areas.

I think these are address tagging errors in the stored maps.

My Garmin utterly failed me yesterday finding a new doctor's office. It had me going right past the complex time and again. I finally had to pull over in a hospital's driveway, fight about 20 different voicemails to get a live human, and then have them voice guide me to the office the entire way. Only way I could have found their office. And that's not the first time Garmin led me a merry chase, through tiny side roads, very bad neighborhoods, in circles, etc. Fortunately, not into a river--yet.
