This Magellan GPS is a big improvement over the earlier Magellans. One thing I like is the voice instructions. When I am driving, I can't always look down at the GPS screen so I need to have audible instructions. Audible tones are fine but if there is conversation going on or musci playing, they cannot always be heard so again, the audible instructions and tones are an absolute must. You can also choose to not have any audible tones and no voice. You can adjust the volume to your needs, too.

It is also extremely easy to use. Anyone can start using it out of the box, without having to read a huge operators manual.
