You could see from my thread about my Garmin and the 100,000 miles how much my sat nav has been used over the years, and that's the latest in a long line that I've owned. I've never had one try and take me down the wrong way on a one-way system yet!

You're using the wrong system! Don't think mine has ever told me to go down a non existant road. If I'm going somewhere I've not been before (which I do lots) I rely on it 100%.

From what I've seen of TomTom it still has a lot of work required. Garmin have been around a lot longer and really don't have any major issues. Of course it's all down to the quality of the maps and I update mine whenever a new set come out, roughly annually.
