went to toronto over the thanskgiving weekend, on the way into the city it started to snow so heavily that the road signs became covered, however thanks to the nuvi, made it to our destination.
the travel kit has the pc cable and an ac charger with overseas adapters if you take the unit to a foreign country where the converters would be needed.
the australian lady's voice is very entertaining -- she sounds nervous sometimes as if she's unsure of the directions she's giving.
i bought this for my husband for a business trip to canada.
Very good product for great price...
haven't had it long enough to evaluate its accuracy in rural locations.

easy to use interface, ridiculous amount of waypoints and it hasn't made a mistake yet.
just got it for my wife and it is very easy to use.
beautiful, clear, easy-to-use, full-featured gps device.
i used to use county key-maps and it was no easy task !
the menus were easy to use, and it allowed for a large number of entries of preset locations.
the screen is large, and easy to read.
i still haven't opened the manual yet, because it's so easy to get going.
and oh yeah my favorite the doorbell or chime to alert when exactly your turn is coming up and its balls on accurate every time!
bigger screen, same features and i love that you can take it with you, when you travel to another car or use a rental car or travel to europe as we did one time.
i travel internationally, so i am looking forward to downloading those maps and can let you know how it works!
although im in brazil, the only con is that it does take a few minutes to get satelite positioning.
i have not used the unit for a long trip but the several occasions i have used it in various parts of the state, it worked well.
a few addresses in rural areas were way off and it does not have some "no right turn" sorts of data.
date:?april 22, 2009 prosi loved this product out of the box!

this gps gives you all the directions you need pretty accurate, msn traffic needs to improve on this, its usually delayed most of the time it tells me traffic is there but then i find no traffic why?

the voices are easy to understand.

us and europe maps because i am in the air force stationed in germany and travel frequently back to the states.
i would recommend tomtom and if you travel to europe, the 920 model is the one to buy.
the new european map is about 1.9gb and so is the north american map.
i can use this in europe as well (unit came with us and eu maps).
a good gps unit, it's accuracy is not to the doorstep but within 100ft.

So far there is no GPS that has a world wide basemap, only North America and Europe.
As an frequent traveler and avid driver, a portable GPS has become an essential part of my travel kit.
Turn notices are announced too late.
Used the Garmin 760 in Netherlands, Belgium and France.
I had no problems, I'm in the military and use GPS devices long before sold to the public.
As other reviewers have mentioned, this GPS is very hackable, and once you install MioPocket, it basically becomes a PDA with a 4.3 inch touch screen.
Without the update their GPS units will become more and more useless.
This GPS gets you to where you're trying to go, but some locations are unknown to the unit.
I bought Mio C320 as a Christmas gift for my wife.
Pros: cheap for a unit with TTS, clear voice, good map, more streets details than Gamin, some people might not like.
The Pharos is a step up in many ways (color, faster, spoken street names, larger screen) BUT, Garmin's experience in this field shows: While the Pharos is color and larger, it was still easier to see the Garmin screen, especially in bright sun.
UPDATE: Pharos came through after the second replacement.
I recieved this GPS over the holidays.
A very good value to money.
took a trip to canada last week and it took us right to our hotel even tho we made a couple stops off the map.
plan on taking it to florida and puerto rico when we go.
it's so easy to get where you need to go!
the easy mount is great.
no more getting lost, and talking about easy to use...
excellent value.
easy to use right out of the box.
the accuracy is about 4-5 meters.
usually settling for value over quality.
"this maestro is truly a life saver for 1 hour trip to the big city or the big roadtrip...took it across country to colorado and it was 100% accurate all the time.
