Excellent, versatile GPS

Yes
Unit comes pre-installed with North American street map, gas stations, hotels, restaurants, and the national yellow pages listings. Also includes coastal waterway G2 (hi-res) nautical maps when you use the unit in a boat. There is nothing to add via CD; don't know why prior reviewer wanted to do this. Unit is customizable to display nearly anything you want to display while enroute. Have seen accuracy down to 7 feet with WAAS enabled. I also have the excellent Garmin Nuvi 350 but this unit is more sophisticated and in some ways satisfying and fun.
