my first GPS , which I get because I would be drive in Italy , and believe I , and my rental car passenger , this turn out to be a life-saver . we would have miss a hundred turn -lrb- the round-about be especially hard to navigate by eyesight alone , as they sometimes have several exit with small or no sign that whiz by in this italian mixmaster traffic -rrb- , and some rural location , like b&b; s , be simply off the marked road . enter a town , road or street and a number , and it 'll take you there , or if it do not have one , punch in coordinate from the host . also , after read some review of other gpss , I be surprise to see how well the unit perform in city in pedestrian mode , regardless of high building , as the `` Hotfix '' feature quickly pick up any lose signal -lrb- this be true even in longish tunnel in northern Italy -rrb- . the four-hour battery be great for out-of-vehicle use . also , review for other model complain how long it take to get satellite fix and map load on arrival in the foreign country , but this gp get they up in about a minute . the Italy map be very detailed and the restaurant\/points of interest\/fuel stop nearby feature very quick and accurate . conversion from mph to KPH be simple and the many other feature be easy and intuitive , too . I be not a techie at all , but I can use this device very well . one more thing : tech service . I get help for update map because I be not very technical , and a very nice and helpful agent be on the phone with I in less than 5 minute .
