It is easy to use. It can be placed in the cup holder of the car instead of windshield. Because it announces instruction to make turns so I do not have to look at it while driving.The electronic map inside is not 100% complete and never will be, so if you type in a street address and it returns different address you need to be very careful because that means there is no this address in their map and it may lead you to the street address they show on the screen which may be different from your destination.This GPS is a great tool to have. It provides convenience and safety.
