I purchased this unit at a "Black Friday" sale at Wal-mart this past year. It was an early Christmas present to myself, and I can't be happier with it!
With my home business, I have to travel often in my local area. It was getting tiresome printing out directions from a map site, and having to look at them in a dark car. This unit has a bright, easy-to-read screen, and gives clear directions in real-time. I rarely miss a turn now, and if I do, I hear a pleasant voice telling me that the unit is "recalculating," and it soon directs me back where I need to be. The interface is very user-friendly, and I've hardly had to look at the manual to figure out how to use it.
This is also a good unit for travel, as I can find any food or entertainment places nearby, wherever I am. I've been lost in many a big city before... not any longer! You can also stop and find food, gas, or entertainment along your current route, which helps in trip planning.
Make sure you keep your maps updated, though. I've found newer areas of town have not been in the unit until I did so.
The volume controls on this can be a little touchy as well. I find that I have to keep it on the next-to-highest level to hear it over my radio, but the highest level is far too loud. I can't even hear it on the medium to low settings unless I'm indoors.
The unit comes with a car charger and a suction cup to mount it on your windshield. It also has a dashboard attachment for states in which a windshield mount is illegal. You can also charge the battery with the included USB cable by plugging it into your computer... it's not just for updating maps! This is a good feature for travel, if you want to charge it on your laptop and use it while walking around an unfamiliar area.
