I love the wide screen- Don't settle for a smaller one. Text-to-Speech is outstanding. All the accessories work well. Downloading map updates took a bit, but went smooth. You can download different avatars for your maps. Trip features are outstanding including gas cost. Where am I feature is fantastic. The unit finds the sattelite quickly and recalculates in a second!

It is simple and easy to use for getting from here to there. A few glitches in the directions on occassion but I hear other brands are the same (mapquest on my computer internet can be wrong too). He likes the two mounting feature choices and extra plug, I bought him a case for it too (WalMart)to keep everything together. We compared units and this one was the best for the price. |
