    Great GPS, the cover flow from menu to menu is clunky if you are use to apple devices. Limited accessories to adapt to vehicles for mounting.

    This device worked great for me when I was in a pinch. I am a delivery driver working away from my home city and the device was very helpful. Great suggestions for restaurants and other places. Clear, loud voice calls out turns over loud engine.

    Trip Planning Problems

    I upgraded from a 71. I input routes in Trip Planning for up to 80 addresses. When I imported the routes from 71 the 86 model broke them down into routes to not exceed 30. What a pain. Now if I want to add some address in part 1 or 2 I have to delete from 2 and put into part 3m, Delete some from one and put in part 2. Even in the new model there are lots of places where the map puts the address at the street behind or around the corner. When tell it go to that spot, it gives an address on the other side of the street so it says "on the right" when it's on the left. Other places it tells you there is a road when there is none and never has been. 95% of the time it's all correct, but the 5% can mess you up or the driver I am training.
