Expertise: end user
Strengths: non glare screen
qwerty keyboard
lane assist
Weaknesses: no route capability
not ecoroute compatible
no trip planner
only 1 via point......aaaaggh!
Similar products used: nuvi2200 ,lacks qwerty keyboard but is better suited to business delvery driving!!!
a little of a let down
its an awesome unit with well intended additions!(lane assist)& qwerty keyboard. It seems to be intended for a person who doesnt frequent the same place and the person who doesnt have many via points! and it lacks a route capability.

I found out later that it is not compatible with ecoroute or trip planner or my route(greatest let down of the unit)...


It isnt even possible to buy either of these aplications for the unit as for some reason the unit cant support these addons

well heres hoping.....
