I really like this GPS, especially it's portability. It gives audible turn by turn directions and is very easy to read in different lighting. However, two big draw backs. 1. When you turn it on, it sometimes "remembers" it's last location and tries to give you directions from there. It corrects itself, but sometimes might take up to 15 minutes to do so. Which really stinks if you're in a hurry. 2. I bought it a year ago and it's maps were already about a year out of date in my area (Phoenix). I went to go update it and it was $80!!! About 2/3 what I paid for it. So, that means I'm just going to be another one...from a different manufacturer. All in all, it's served it's purpose, but those two drawbacks are enough to keep me from buying another.
