The good: - Although it feels kind of cheap / plasticky, I think that actually makes it more durable, particularly for the screen. I throw it in my bag fairly often and it's fine - It's pretty intuitive when looking for locations - Lots of ways to view your route
The bad: - The system hangs more often than I'd like - It takes it a while to get a satellite read at random times, even in wide open spaces - The menus can be a bit tedious, even if they are simple and straight-forward
The summary: I've never had a GPS before, so I really don't have any baseline to compare it to. But from what little I know, it seems to be a pretty average GPS system. I got it at a good price because of a Black Friday sale, but don't know if I would pay full retail for it.
What's great about it: Simple touch-screen interface
What's not so great: The system hangs fairly often
