"Be prepared for hours of frustration during setup"
Pros: Wide screen.
Cons: Many Cons. See summary.
Summary: Poor instructions ? (comes with a quick start manual but a more detailed manual is nowhere to be found)
The manual says to connect the GPS to the PC but provides no other info. Determined a special USB cable is necessary to connect to GPS to the PC but this cable apparently must be purchased separately as it is does not come with the GPS unit.
Website confusing and its difficult to determine just what updates and maps should be downloaded.
The free updated map download is over 2GB in size and may take over 2 hours with a typical broadband internet connection. You have a limited amount of time to download. Future updates, should you choose to receive them, apparently cost $100
The route given from home to work was nonsensical as it is nowhere near the quickest or shortest route (and this is after install of the map update)
After downloading it may take 5 minutes or so to extract the file. When the actual download started I got an error message that the GPS did not have a sufficient amount of storage space to accept the updated map (38 mb short). Went back on the website and discovered it is necessary to delete the language files that are not being used on the GPS to free up enough space to download the map.
