Advantages: Features, Performs well, Quality, User friendly, Value for money Disadvantages: loading speed
"Great Gps. I prefer the wide screen version. Good map detail and i enjoy the talking feature. The only downfall is a 3 hour battery life and "somewhat" slow drawing process."

"Simple to use, with spoken word street names , shows you which lane to get in for exits,calculates your arrival time on trips,and it is very accurate. Gives you points of intrest easily...want to find a place to eat, a place to shop, get gas, its loaded in there. Also had a feature not mentioned in the description, its shows the speed limit on the road you are traveling.....Amazing unit for the money. My wife never asks me for directions anymore...the ultimate gift for a college student or wife...."
