I love this product ! I have to say that you can take it out of the box plug it in , and begin navigate you way to happiness . it be very easy to use . my favorite feature , need gas ? just push the gas button from the menu . need to eat ? Press the food button from the menu . Voila , food at you finger with the phone number if you need to make reservation . Garmin vs. other product ... I have have other brand , and have play recently with another brand . they do not have the easy interface like the Garmin . I want to look further down the road on other and could not figure it out . with the Garmin ... just touch the screen , and drag it to the area you would like to look .
