I will use it whenever I am going to any location I haven't visited before. I love the fact that I don't have to look at the screen, I just listen and follow the instructions, never taking my eyes off the road.

Comments:
My GPS is compact, and easy to use. I tried different situations and it gets me where I want to go. My wife gets mad because I don't like to stop and ask for directions. Now I don't have to with my GPS.

I found it easy to use the first time I used it. I tried it out on a 1,100 mile trip, that I never made before, and I never made one wrong turn following the directions it gave me, so it's a keeper!
