"Awesome! Stellar!"
Pros: Simple, intuitive interface
Cons: Poor mounting options;
Summary: The design of this device is incredible -- it is so easy to use, unlike so many tech products today (they clearly kept the programmers locked and chained in the basement, and let the product designers control design of the interface.)
However as others have mentioned, the Points of Interest database may not be the most stellar. The first two things I looked for were not there: one of the most popular and longstanding fastfood Chinese restaurants in Boulder, and the University of Denver arena.
The suction-cup window mount is just scary though -- how can that hold in cold weather, etc.? And will you have an accident if it suddenly falls off while you are driving? (They are illegal in California.) The only supplied alternative is a permanent-stick disk that still requires using the suction cup. Car Toys told me there is no alternative mount available, and that I'd have to commission a custom one. This needs to have a suitable detachable mounting option that does not involve a suction cup. But apart from the mounting issue, the device itself is awesome.

You can get bean bag style mount made by RAM Mounting Systems for about $50. This mount is also legal in CA and allows you to move it from car to car very easily.
