I think it is a good GPS system. Good screen size, touch tone. You can control the volume and it is easy to understand how the system works. I have lost satellite reception while crossing a bridge, but easily recovers as you leave the bad reception area. When it is rainy you can lost the reception too, it happened to me twice. If you turn the car off the GPS system can work on reserve battery. Map images are sharp and well defined, voice is clear enough to understand the commands even when you are listening to the radio. The system tells you the approximate time you will arrive and it is really accurate. It happened to me that I lost the turn and the system calculates a new route in seconds. You can add a intermediate destination while on a primary destination, this is very useful when you are on the road and want to stop and look for a restaurant, for example.
