"very good simple unit to use without even looking at manual on CD" on by k4wtw
Pros: quick route calculations , 98% accurate road names , recalculates if you make wrong turn .
Cons: the exit poi with the error message , insert SD memory card .
Summary: this is a good unit with only one flaw and it is NOT major ''exit poi '' . i travel a lot and this unit is very accurate and a lot of the bad reviews it has is because the user does not have the zoom level right to see the small secondary Rd's or driveways or the time settings wrong ( they say it just cuts off by its self ) SET the timer to NEVER cut off and you will not have that problem .
i also for 2 days , way out in the country did a planned trip and intentionally went wrong way and in 10 to 20 seconds , recalculated the right way back on track . most stores , restaurants etc., in the points of interest are there . ( of course there are a few that are not but the major ones are there . ) the compass , speed you are driving , distance , altimeter and routes are spot on . maybe i got the good one and the ones who wrote the bad reviews actually got a defective unit . -

"I love it!" on by klempel
Pros: Gets me from point A to point B with ease.
Cons: The touch screen is sometimes hard to press on.
Summary: I am an outside sales rep and this has made my job so much easier. I can just put in the next address where I need to be and think about something else while my Magellan guides me. How did I get along without it?

"Everything a GPS is supposed to be" on by richbuf
Pros: Quick routing and excellent voice prompt
Cons: No online map update as of now
Summary: This GPS exemplifies it's namesake. It guides you to and from origins and destinations with excellent visual and audible instructions. It has excellent POI information from Museums to amusement parks. The exit poi feature isn't available on this model but the stadard poi feature does work it's just not based on exit numbers. Instead it is based on name or category then you further define by cureent position, near which city or near what address. Bottom line it works perfectly.
