    Pros: For the most part, it got me where I wanted to go.

    Cons: Outdated maps. Outdated speed limits. Randomly turned the voice off. Got stuck in a loop. Did not find "nearest" points-of-interest readily.

    Summary: Bought it because I was in a city that doesn't have a grid layout. Started out fine. Then, after being told to go "5.5 miles," the voice turned itself off. I discovered this after going 7 or so miles. Then I got stuck in a loop where it had me going around the same block. On the way home, it tried to advise me to skip toll booths in Illinois ("Stay left!" "Stay left!" when it was required to go right to pay the toll.) It had me get into the local lane after being in the express lane, and I could've easily stayed in the express lane. The speed limits posted do not always match the speed limit that the GPS shows. (Real speed limits were higher so no tickets.) It did not always find the nearest location of a chain store, instead sending me across town. I didn't "need" a GPS to get home so it was more to try it out, and it's not worth what I paid. I could've done better with a map.

    I've had it 2 days and it will go back tomorrow.
