Not perfect, but not bad

Verified Purchase:Yes

The features for this GPS are as good as any I've used. The one thing that amazes me is they used a glossy screen which is definitely NOT a good idea in the bright sunshine environment of a car. It does look nice in the store when comparing to others so I suspect that was the motivation. I bought a matte finish screen protector to cut down the glare for daytime driving. The Voice Command feature is very nice. So far I've only had one address that after 20 times of saying it different ways without it being recognized, I finally gave up. I was driving down the road at the time so I suspect road noise may have played a part, but isn't that the point of having it? I did discover one bug in the software. If you set the toll road option to "Prompt" each time rather than just default to Yes or No it doesn't always display a time of arrival. I changed the default to No Toll Roads and have not had a problem since. Perhaps they will fix that with an update. I'm sorry if this review sounds all negative but you now know the negatives to go with the feature list so you can make an educated decision. Overall, despite the things I've mentioned, I like the unit. Besides, how many people live at 230 south west street...

I would recommend this to a friend!
