A:AnswerYes, as it comes preloaded with mapping of both the United States and Canada. I would recommend doing a mapping update before taking your trip, to ensure it has the most recent mapping data.

A:AnswerI have not seen the feature that you are looking for - that is, texting the directions to your phone. However, the display can be set to show directions rather than the map. Also, at the top of the display are very clear and accurate and detailed displays of road names and road signs. For example, on highways it shows a what appears to be an accurate picture of the sign which you are approaching. Very cool, actually. Additionally, if you are on the highway, it splits the screen and shows you which lane to be in with uncanny accuracy. That too is very cool.

A:AnswerFrom my understanding, the antenna is in the cord. You have to subscribe to some kind of plan to use the traffic. I haven't really had time to look and see what all is involved with this.
