Comment:
I use this GPS for road trips and for work. I transfer it from Vette to Vette and to family car depending on need. I like the windshield mount. I don't like the thick cord but I understand why this is necessary (nav traffic!). Directions are extremely good. I love the flexibility to change car icons, voices. I'm in love with NavTraffic and Map Updates for life. This unit really surprised me the first time gave a speed camera alert! The battery life is a little short when not plugged in to car 12v.

I have owned this unit for about a year and a half we have used it when we went to Disney World this last July and we had never been to Orlando it got us every where including all the theme worlds at Disney World from Embassy suites where we were staying. We live in California and know t how to get every place but I still use the nav. sys. because it it will get you to address and places of interest ,it does mess up here and there but it will get you in the general area and bottom line it is great compaired to maps and asking for directions.

Excelent screen and menus, very friendly interface and big touch buttons. It is better to use it with the dashboard mounting bean bag.<br />The lane indications is really amazing.
