Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this GPS a few months ago from Amazon after spending quite a bit of time looking at units from Magellan, Tom Tom, Garmin and Motorola. I like gadgets, but am generally not an "early adapter." So I was a little hesitant to buy this unit, since it is a new model and I could find no reviews online. But I liked the features and the price, so I took the risk and bought it.

I am quite happy with the unit. The screen is big and bright and it is quite easy to use. My wife, who is not the most tech-savy, was able to operate it with only minimal pointers from me. Her mother who used it while visiting also found it very easy to use. It acquires satellite signal quite rapidly and it's directions generally make good sense (although it occasionally picks routs I would not choose, but still got us where we were needing to go). It tells us which lane to get into in plenty of time.

The main feature that influenced me to purchase it was the free traffic info. Other units charged a fee, or had pop-up advertisements for their traffic service, but it is included with this Magellan for free. The other thing I like is that it comes pre-loaded with about a zillion restaurants, hotels, gas stations and other points of interest. This comes in very handy when traveling - it has several times helped us find places to eat when we were in new places.

I've only had 2 problems. First, you must cancel your current trip before you put in a new destination. I discovered this after putting in a new location after getting to my first, but it kept telling me to make a u-turn and go back. If you don't cancel the first trip it won't accept the second location. The other problem I have with it is if I take an alternate route to the one it chooses, it has a very hard time accepting the new route. It will keep trying to make me turn to pick up it's preferred route for quite awhile. Eventually, it does seem to give up and recalculates the new route.

So, I would not hesitate to recommend this GPS.
