The directions and routes it chooses are often bad. I’ve used it to take me places around my neighborhood to find various businesses, and since I know the streets pretty well, I’ve discovered that it often takes me in circles and chooses awkard routes. The voice that speaks the directions is rather annoying and constantly mispronouces the street names.
Thank god the screen displays the names otherwise I’d no idea where I was supposed to go based on audio alone. The voice cannot even say “california” correctly! The voice says “st” instead of “street” and “cyn” instead of “canyon”. Aside from that, the touch screen doesn’t well either. I frequently have to push the same button again and again before it accepts it, often I have to start over from the beginning.
Ultimately, it does a good job of getting me to my destination. But I am positive that there are other models that would do the job better for a similar price.
