Went to best buy to purchase new gps, had a small navigon which worked pretty flawlessly for a couple years until it just died. Bought a garmin, by reputation, and chose this model because of the free live traffic option as i drive to DC everyday for work. First of all, the display didn't have option of miles to destination as my navigon did. That was just the beginning, several days in a row the satellite would just loose signal, for ten miles at a time on route 50 which is a major highway. Then yesterday, all the way home it had me on roads i was no where near, it had me like a half mile to the left or right of where i was, it was on my everyday to work so no danger of getting lost, but kept it running for traffic feature. I had to keep turning off and on to correct but withing couple minutes i was way off track again. I'm just glad i wasn't using it for somewhere where i didn't know where i was going. I just wanted to buy something that works properly, and i didn't. This unit will be returned in next couple days and won't buy garmin again,
What's great about it: Easy to read maps, Lots of downloadable options
What's not so great: Doesnt work properly, need i say more
