Bought it to use on trip to Europe and especially in Rome. In actual operation, was had for it to find satilites in the narrow streets with tall buildings. Caused us to get lost walking around. Might have been better in a car but I'm not sure. If you're in an area with narrow streets and/or tall buildings, I'd be carefull with this one. May apply to other GPS units as well. Disappointed in unit because of this. the "virtual GPS" didn't seem to fare much better. Also, was very hard to see in the sunlight. Even with screen at full brightness, it was a little hard to read. Appears to be made more for cars than walking around.
What's great about it: Lots of good features
What's not so great: doesn't work well around tall buildings - won't pick up satilites
