A GPS is a useful tool, but it is no replacement for knowledge of an area. Today, on my way home, it directed me to veer away from an on-ramp to a highway, only to then immediately tell me to cross across four lanes of traffic to get on a different ramp to the SAME HIGHWAY. Not to mention there was a giant sign on the highway saying "Don't do that!" If you can, take the time to use online mapping software to double check the routes this device gives you.

I have used many a GPS and this is the best one that I have found so far (Garmin Nuvi 260w, Mio 220, C520, Sony Nav, etc..).
Routing is spot on. All my other GPS units have very strange routing ar times but this one so far is great, with the ability to use an Alternate route with a push of a button.
You can customize this thing to no end. If you don't like the colors or voices, you can download many others that other customers have made or make your own with downloaded software.
I like that I can play my MP3's over the radio and have the navigation interrupt to give directions.
All GPS units have some quirks but the Pros beat out the cons by far.
As for the the directions, I have had no problems with finding any point of interest. If there is not on chain of fast food or something like that, you can just download them .
I dont care for the supplied MOunt though, It is way too short for my windsheild.
I also wish it would auto start when you start the car, but it is not a deal breaker because this thing is great.
