It has big screen and ease for use, but it's pricy to update maps and sometimes it "thinks" too long to recalculate the path. It seems to me also that this GPS lives with "one's own mind" - it could start to recalculate straight path on the way. It' really weird. I recomend to buy Garmin Nuvi and I will buy Garmin next time.

Stay away from this GPS (and Magellan products as a whole) for the following reasons: 1) The GUI is confusing; the screen where you type in the address of where you want to go is extremely hard to find. Amazingly, its not one of the actual buttons on the unit. 2) This company was notified of problems registering serial numbers (for firmware updates and map updates) over a year ago and the same problem persists. From what I have read, other people have had a nightmare of a time with their support resolving the issue; I didnt bother. 3) Update maps are almost $70, which is almost the cost of the entire bulky, oversized unit now.

We use this unit at work, and I take it around the country. When it works, it's right on. However, it takes some getting used to. The menus are not intuitive. The power on/off/powersave function is awkward. Sometimes system locks and you have to restart the system. Previous destinations buried under "Address Book." I'd look elsewhere.
