Anticipating the positives what was the reason for my purchase. Lifelong map update. That was about it. I have returned the device after 1 day. Compared to previous models V 700 and NEO 550 Edition, which I still possess both, Falk has greatly diminished. The large display appears blurry and as well as the well as the other reviewer I've learned that the operation has become complicated and imprecise. That was as I said a lot better. It lacks important buttons, which simplify operation. You always have to enter the two main menus in the Unterkategogrien. It's frustrating. If I want, for example, planning a tour I have to search for the sub-item and can get started then, but this is not always apparent. What I miss most is the split screen where my entire route is visible. The Tour section in the display is indeed huge, but only very small relative to the area. The POI are so large that they fill the whole display part. As already mentioned, everything seemed blurry. A step backwards, there have been also in terms of support. Although now holds better at the plate, but the device can not be easily removed and compared to NEO 550, it is no longer active holder. The charging cable must be attached to the side in the device and any heavy users know that here is the weak point, since the USB connector can break out on the board here. Man should always remove them from the vehicle devices. The selling price is very good in terms of life-long map update, but what good is that to me when important and simple operating characteristics are missing. I hope the Falk returns to its old quality even if this costs the device a little more.
