    This is just what I was looking for. However, would've liked a British accent option.

    Map of North America has been free in the past, but not on this model. Garmin has not been forthcoming with their policy change. If I had known this before I arrived at the Canadian border, I would have looked much farther afield before making my purchase. I guess I assume too much from big business!

      You should try cleaning the suction cup and the mounting area of the windshield with rubbing alcohol, drying both surfaces with a lint-free cloth and applying moisture to the suction cup before placing it on the windshield, this creates a better seal and helps the device stay in place. Here is a link to a Garmin Support Center article that will help: http://bit.ly/2kX9XR0 Garmin

    This GPS gives you a notification of upcoming speed changes and has saved me twice from not seeing signs.
