Good Product--room for improvement
4 of 4 found this helpful I got this because our maps needed updating & my wife has to drive through iffy neighborhoods with confusing traffic patterns.
Generally this product works very well. Three problems noted:
1. On traffic circles, usually (but not always) it does not tell you where/ when/ on what street to turn. It gives more general directions (go .1 mile or what have you)--ideally it would say "go three quarters of the way around the circle and turn right on Massachusetts Avenue" or something like that.
2. On some streets (small ones that may not be entered into the nuvi database) it will actually tell you "turn right on street"--not the name of the street or something helpful like "turn right on first street after viaduct"
3. On some streets, it will think/ speak as if there is a street where in fact there is none--for instance it might say to turn left on X street, when in fact the street only goes right.
These problems are rare, but annoying and inconvenient when they happen.
On the whole, though, it has been very good to us.
It also has 2 nifty features I have not yet tried out: directions for pedestrians and for bicyclists.
