    I bought this GPS for a trip coming up, the software for trip planning looked terrible and took a little getting used to to try and plan all the stops. After I figured it out, this thing is a beast! I can program in hotels, Starbucks, scenic stops, add which day the stops are, how long I anticipate the stops to be. It's amazing!

    The only issue so far has been in the unit not giving exact location 2 or 3 times, but think that is due to needing to update maps through computer and have not had time to do so...this is for my husband's job and he has to find at least 6-10 addresses a day and has been very happy with it

    I said not working well but I really mean not working well at all. We had used it a couple of times to try it out before going to Florida on vacation and it worked great. Worked for the first few days in Florida thenwhen we recently went to return to the airport it stopped giving directions or following with the mileage countdown, Luckily I had preprinted directions or we would have been lost at 530 am. I am now going to try to return this and hopefully it can be returned.

    Bought this to replace an old Garmin GPS that has served me for sometime. This is a great upgrade from the old one, one of the features i love about this GPS is the displaying of the speed limit and your speed, it is a great buy for me.

    This is my first GPS. I have always been a map guy when we would travel. I never thought that I would really like or need one of these but now that I have used it a few times I wish that I would have bought one a lot sooner.
