Pros: I love it, its alot easier to use than a tom tom, the voice is a little more automated than the tom tom, but the key pad, the options, points of interests, and guided directions that are in 3d, not photographic, but 3d, make it so easy to use and understand. The accuracy is amazing!
Cons: When I tried to type in a street that I am pretty sure is a new one, it tried to jump to other streets with out me even getting to the third letter, I tried to figure a way around this but have not found one yet. It may becuase of the new street. I have not gone online and uploaded any extras but it says you can. I have to check that out
