Consumer Reviews
Pros
Intuitive menus, bright easy to read screen, very detailed maps, small and easy to mount.
Cons
Sometimes questionable routing, short battery life, multiple and possibly confusing...
Recommended it?
Yes

Cons
Challenging mount, lag when typing city/state, no traffic
Recommended it?
Yes
Pros:
This unit is sleek and solidly built, with a big, beautiful screen and quality graphics.
Lane guidance is excellent. It's actually hard to miss exits and highway divisions, because whenever one comes along, the screen fills with a graphic of the highway lanes, and arrows...
