I started playing with it right away. Once the co-ordinates were loaded (there is a little lag time), it gave me the directions and worked immediately. I put in one address and purposely didn't go with the directions. It re-calculated and continued to work as described. Two comments: while the directions for a long distance trip were very good, it said to make a left into the compound while the hotel's directions and a visual check showed the hotel was on the right. #2, this GPS has the traffic alert, in which it will re-route you if there is congestion ahead. On the way home, it re-routed me. I heard it say take Rte. A; whereas, I had been on Rte. B (which was the route I'd taken to get to the hotel). I stayed on Rte. B and went right into the traffic jam. I didn't realize it was re-routing me due to traffic. I simply thought it was taking me back a different way. I've had fun with it and it has worked just fine in other outings.
What's great about it: Easy to set-up; worked right out of the box once co-ordinates obtained
What's not so great: Didn't say it was switching to an alternate route
