I love this product . it be very easy to use and you can see the route you be take -lrb- the big picture -rrb- ahead of time and choose to take a different one if you wish . other garmin I have use just send you off and you be not sure what the big picture look like which can be frustrating . the only thing I do not like be that you can not just view the map as you drive , you have to plug in a destination . also it do not allow you to plug in a address -lrb- eg . 20 Alpine Lane -rrb- unless it be program in . so if 500 alpine Lane be program in it can only take you there , so you have to figure it out on you own . but other than that it be really awesome .
