rh71 is on a distinguished road
It should be noted that they are often wrong about turns and exits. Last weekend it told me to get off an exit where I could turn left into my intended direction... but after that exit, there was a no-left-turn sign (that I've seen for many years from that road, incidentally). It should've told me to get off at the next exit instead where it puts me in the proper direction.

Also on the news just yesterday in Westchester, a GPS told a driver to turn right and it led him onto railroad tracks... where his vehicle was subsequently hit after being stuck. This was the 2nd time for that track that a GPS system led a driver to get stuck there.

These things are not always reliable, unfortunately, and I don't think any number of updates will fix everything. What I'm saying is even if there's a new release, you may still run into the same trouble. Best of luck to you though.
