Pros
- The unit is made of aluminum and feels absolutely solid.
- The 5-inch display is very clear, but can be reflective depending on how you position it in your car.
- More street names are shown on the map than previous models, roads not on your route are more frequently labled at all zoom levels.
- Voice activation works well, even with windows down.
- The magnetic mount is great idea. There is no bracket that holds the unit to the mount, its held to the window mount by a very strong magnet.
Cons
- Lack of dashboards, or specifically of more data fields.
- No user updatable speed limits, a feature removed from previous models.
- Mini USB port on the back, most modern devices use micro USB.
