Worked Great.. Needs little more frills

Pros Acceptably Accurate directions/voice guidance. Good body construction. Easy intuitive menu (except for the demo feature)
Cons lacks wall charger, maps expensive, lacks computer cable. Route DEMO feature bit awkward.
Recommended it? Yes
The Bottom Line:  I would have retained this if it came with the wall charger/additional maps for Canada/Porto Rico.
I bought this and used it on my 10 day trip in LA/San Diego/Vegas areas. It worked great though occasionally had trouble catching the satellites. Sometimes needed to switch off and then on to catch the satellite otherwise it was just waiting forever. Which was of course quicker (under 2 minutes) but irritating.

It lacked the wall charger, POI updates, maps too expensive (as expensive as the unit itself). It didn't come with cable to connect to computer. It probably because no other update to the software possible and for new maps all you need is just buy a new sd-card with the new map and insert.
Route demo feature bit awkward , You have to turn on this feature to see the demo then go turn off, from the main menu/sub-menu. There is no way to quickly drive through the demo. For a 5 hour trip you will have to wait through all 5 hours. I wish they have an option to drive through the route by fast/slow/skipping-roads etc. For the first few days I didn't know that I have to turn-of the DEMO feature to have the unit to take me to the place I want to go. That was frustrating.

Bottom line, I was happy with the unit's performance, would have retained it if it had Canada/Porto Rico maps and the wall charger.
