I don't actually own this, but I purchased it as a gift for my father...who's getting up in age and gets lost sometimes. It was perfect timing since it was a birthday gift and he and my mom were going out of town to celebrate both of their birthdays. He said it talked him all the way to his destination (of course he set it to the man's voice being so macho). Even when he got off course, it rerouted his directions and told him where to go. He's only had it for a week, but so far so good. I expect it to continue to give my parents some good service.
