Note Routing with milestones and a few negative experiences

Yes, the device is visually successful, the screen has an outstanding high resolution and thus a crisp presentation, the voice input almost always works, the volume I need to make 60% - no loud music in the car; In short:
the positive qualities already repeatedly mentioned are correct.

The negative experiences with respect. Poor workmanship I could with my device fortunately not notice (purchase through authorized Garmin dealers), the 'clunky' connector can be tolerated, the "TMC wire antenna" may not be very nice, but the TMC reception is quite reliable.
But to get out of range of the transmitter, it can be 5 min. (Also on the highway) until the next
Last reception.

I have the device at about the level of ventilation slots, accessible with your fingers from the steering wheel, mounted and the GPS reception is despite non-optimal position almost always sufficient - in the Odenwald in narrow valleys of the reception was always zero with "funny" instructions for turning - no problem, there was only a narrow road.

The behavior may have to get used to and his route calculation sometimes somewhat surprising; all
tolerable.

To navigate a route with waypoints you have to know (is not in the manual):

The device allows the planning of multiple routes with milestones - business contacts, ride different route, ... which can then be accessed via Where To?> Trip Planner. The Chronological Order
the to be controlled via points can even be mathematically optimized or changed manually - an outstanding se function.

You have to choose at "Go" to stop that one wants to reach directly the first (one can also, for example,
want to skip the first few in the list). Then the device directly navigates to the point and displays the route on the map even until then. Now you automatically think: Oh, target ereicht and then what?

When you reach the intermediate target, the unit automatically calculates the route to the next interim destination, just until the end of the route is reached.

Are added at "GO" but as the endpoint, the Navi drives these directly and then give all intervening Punke be ignored.

This is a first irritating, but very intelligent method. It allows one to skip dots selectively and others be approached directly.

So it's a routing with optional intermediate destinations.

BUT:
A significant deficiency is the lack of representation in POIs. It is absolutely impossible, such as
Pedestrian the nearest pharmacy to see in the city. You can via destination entry POIs ... a list
the pharmacies (always according to the beeline sorted) see that you are allowed to click individually to determine
where is now the pharmacy ... etc. is - the crow often says little.

Downright Evil But is this behavior if you want to visit a foreign city and want to drive a car park. I stopped about 3 km before the village turn right and searched via destination entry 'Near Target' parking in the city. Absolutely frustrating: I got all parking within the site indicated, but not at the destination, the list was too long (I am simply so moved into the city and have a parking lot looking as formerly usual without navigation) (incl the opposite direction.) , Another serious disadvantage is the name: There are in the list no indication of the place, but stands at the street name, the one now again nothing says parking. So you do not know if for example the car park
"Lindenallee" in 2km is the destination city or in the opposite direction.

CONCLUSION: Beautiful designer device when before departure already knows the exact target (static navigation). Miserable and frustrating when you situational a POI searches (dynamic navigation).

I would not buy me the device, so beautiful it is. A navigation device, comprising on a POIs
Wish !! does not display on the map and no indication of the place are (could even be limited to eg from 80m Zoom), is not acceptable in the long run. It is not necessarily funny to stand somewhere and tedious list of POIs click through to see where the goal would be for now. As a pedestrian you must still bear in mind that after 2 hours the battery is empty and can not be exchanged for a full second.
