This is an upgrade from my last Garmin that worked faithfully and never froze but didn't have map upgrades. I wish Garmin could make a unit that would LEARN shortcuts. Of course more of each can be downloaded from the web. The display is bright and clear but I miss my "voices" which are limited in this model and the abundance of vehicles. It would have been a useful feature considering I was stuck in more than 2 hours of traffic jams, unfortunately it didn't/doesn't work for me. When I did try the traffic mode, it didn't work and kept giving me some nonsense about unable to connect. No opportunity to use the traffic mode since turning on the traffic mode also enables ENDLESS commercials that occupy at least 1/4" of the screen. For the price, it was a good deal even though there are similar models at cheaper prices. Garmin has yet to update maps for road changes made 1 year ago. The other has voice problems and frequently sounds like it's is drunk, slurring simple words. One unit freezes up from time to time (Garmin says they're working on this). They are fairly easy to set up but loading map updates is a huge pain since both won't update from the Lifetime Updater - one has to be downloaded directly from Garmin's website (Garmin acknowledges this problem - big deal it needs to be fixed). I bought one for each of my cars and as a replacement for one older model.
