This GPS unit works as well as most, I suppose, and I have nothing against this model other than a dim screen. My main complaint is with GPS directions in general, which is a software issue I suppose. After a couple of months use this unit generally gave decent directions. It struggles most when you need it most, such as specific addresses on crowded highways. If you miss by one service road or driveway, you have to make another circuit. I still haven't figured out how the traffic feature is of much help. It warns of backed up traffic, but that is usually pretty obvious by the time the warning comes. I'd say for what you get this product is overpriced but so far it has been reliable.
What's great about it: Not much is great; it's an okay product
What's not so great: Screen too dim in bright light.
