While Garmin does it's best, life on the ground seems to have changed when compared to what the Garmin knows about it.
While this isn't uncommon even in the less traveled areas of the US, MOST of SE Asia is very remote, so you end up with a collection of places, most of which are either shuttered or are simply something else.
And in countries where most of the business are unregistered, getting to the hotel or restaurant on the Garmin often leads you through backroads behind Hotels and Restaurants that are just as good or BETTER than the ones you are looking for.
Unlike the US where businesses register and keep their electronic and goverment information up-to-date, SE Asia is the opposite (for tax and cultural reasons) and this turns the Garmin more into a 2nd or 3rd reference.
Where it excels is with the Big Business, the places that don't move, but once again, for some reason it leaves out VAST amounts of business. If it was at LEAST as good as the Lonely Planet Guide, I'd consider it worth the money, but as it is, I consider it a waste.
Maybe Garmin should get together with Lonely Planet and offer a Lonely Planet's Road Guide? Because as it is I found it useless when compared to it's US Version.
