My parents bought me this as a birthday present because I am a grad student living in another state. Every time I would come home, I would have to travel through several major cities on the interstate, and I got stopped up a time or two because of unknown traffic problems. With this GPS, I don't have that problem anymore. When it is on, it pops up a little icon that lets me know if there are traffic delays, and even helps me get around it. I've only traveled with it once so far, but I know for a fact that it saved me time because of the traffic features!
Also, for the technically-challenged like me, it's the easiest GPS I've used. The ease of use is particularly good because it does NOT come with many directions on how to use the features, so much my early experiences were simply trial and error. But, it was relatively easy to figure out.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this GPS, and I even plan to buy it for my little brother!
What's great about it: Great features, like traffic alerts and eco-friendly driving assessment
What's not so great: Doesn't come with many directions
