Got this after a trip that ended up with mapquest sending us the exact wrong way, should have got one years ago!!! This thing is amazing it makes traveling so much easier and even had voice navigation. The path the i2 has had me go on has been quick every time and you can select whether you want the shortest, or fastest. Also it allows you to program it so that you dont have to do u-turns, dirt roads, highways, etc. Great little device that makes traveling in a truck alot easier, it warns you which lane you need to be in, how close your exit is, even helps you get back on track if you miss a turn. The points of interest are amazing, its like having a local in the car, it shows what it is your looking at and how close it is. If i need a gas station, then i can see whats the closest and how long it will take to get there. Also allows you to insert stops along inbetween you destination. A one gigabyte microsd card will let you put all the united states and some of canada in this thing. Internal antenna is pretty good, but i got an external from ebay and i get full reception all the time. GET ONE OF THESE, YOULL MAKE THE MONEY BACK IN SAVED GAS!!!!!
