    The device works fairly well overall, but the navigation could be more efficient. When I make a wrong turn, it takes a noticeable amount of time to update and recalculate the route. The touchscreen responsiveness could also be improved. With some software and interface refinements, this could be a much better product.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
