I bought three and two of the free map updates only took 2 hours to download but the third took 5 hours (my wife's camera USB cable plugged right into the Garmin - instead of spending $17 on a USB cable just spend $20 and get a camera or MP3 player with the cable). I've seen TomTom's that are much more difficult to use.
What's great about it: Easy to use & set up. Free Traffic advertisements not annoying or common for me to see
What's not so great: Out of three units, one has a problem spelling Katherine without using Chinese symbols at the end. Weird. That's it!
