Comment:
I use this GPS for business and it seemed to route very well initially. After about 4 or so months, the routes became confusing and longer. It would wind me up and down side streets, back-tracking, and no longer uses the quickest route though that is how it is set. It will usually get me to my destination, but takes absurdly long and convoluted routes that I know alternatives that are quicker, shorter, and more direct. It also tends to come off the round mount easily... another annoyance. It comes with lifetime free updates and I do update when I should. Would not recommend.

Comment:
I use this device occasionally when needed on a trip. I found this device much harder to configure than any Garmin I have ever used. The touch screen is not very responsive. It is not easy to move thru menus and figure out what you want to do. I have never had that problem with a Garmin. I had heard Tom Tom were easy to use but maybe I am just used to Garmin. My advice is if you are used to Garmin stay with them if you want to buy a new one. There is a learning curve with this device. The mounting device is very easily dislodged when trying to move the view. It is not easy to snap the device in. I found it difficult to use.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
