I've had this unit for a few weeks now, and I could be wrong about some of this, but here's what I've learned so far:
1. This unit is very easy to use. Almost to a fault. I would like to have more control over settings, but it seems like there are as many options to change things as I would like.
2. I like the text-to-speech feature, but the voices available are a little robotic. I like the idea of having a British or Australian woman giving me directions, but some of the words they pronounce make them sound a little retarded.
3. BEWARE of the lifetime traffic subscription. I live near Charleston, SC and that is not one of the 50 metropolitan areas that receive traffic information, so I don't get to use that feature, unless I happen to be traveling through one of the coverage areas.
