I've only used this twice, but like it already. The maps are easy to read, and the text to voice works nicely. We're about to take several trips, and will rely on it more then. You have a choice of voice inflections, and we chose an Aussie sounding female, which is cool. We also downloaded some custom fonts from the Garmin website, such as a silver convertible for our pointer. The 4 inch screen really makes a difference when viewing, and the automatic adjustment for night lighting is a welcome feature.more info
