Gets Me Where I Want To Be
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A snap to set up, only took about 25 minutes to update maps. Used it several times already and couldn't be happier. Love that I no longer have to worry about losing a cell signal like with my phone's gps.

Bought it after trying a TomTom for a week.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My last GPS was a Garmin 3.5", which was a faithful tool for many years. I tried a TomTom 5" for a week, but just didn't like the interface as much as Garmin, neither did I like the integrated mount.

Unit is Easily Confused
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Consistently has me make wrong turns. Example, I pulled on to a street from a parking lot and moved to the far left lane remembering that this was the direction I had come from an hour earlier. As I approached a light the GPS told me I had to make a right turn at the street I was approaching. I had to cross three lanes in order to do so. After a half mile I was told to make a right followed by another right and another. 5 minutes later I was right back at the exact same spot I was at before I was told to make that first right only this time I was instructed to proceed forward, exactly where I wanted to go in the first place. Also, this unit does not always know right from left or north from south and mispronounces names of streets. Not at all reliable as the 8 year old unit it was purchased to replace.

Works differently from previous versions
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this and gave my old one to my mother, who is in her 80s. She can easily use the older version, but I don't think she would understand the backwards logic of setting a destination, which is not very intuitive if you have to change cities. It does have some additional features, but I wish it was easier to set a specific route without setting a via point. The lifetime updates are a plus, but I think all GPS systems are providing this now.

Good GPS for someone who doesn't travel too much.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this for my needs. Will tell you to u-turn if your destination is around the back of a building, which is confusing at first.
