The GPS itself is rugged, large screen (not illuminated if the power supply is not connected .. shame!). Intuitive interface, voice commands respond quite well.
For me, the voice is a little robotic 'but not hurt anything !!
The arrival times given was often just for me!
In terms of navigation, absolutely nothing to say !!
Quickly find the satellites, not lose them either. It is never cheated during our trip and we always took the right place! I was quite impressed, I was afraid that in Crete this one is a bit lost !! Well no! I found even more powerful in France !!!
Besides the shift life of cards, there is a little more !!
This is a free Garmin software BaseCamp, which defines its own path, POIs, small Garmin adventures' and send them to the GPS for use on site, without needing the desired !! Possibility of making several stop, can be classified by folders, choose a special itinerary for whatever destination! I was delighted !!
With this software, it is also possible to share it with other adventures owners of Garmin and download their :) !!
The software is quite powerful (possibility of having his GPS 3D maps & photos!)
Level features, there is the detection of hazardous areas (fixed) in France, for traffic, go your way .. there is data sent by FM wave (hence the small antenna) but not available for France (mainly the US & Canada).
My overall feeling is super happy with my purchase !! Highly recommend !!
As the first GPS, and for the price !! :)
