by David G, , 8/22/2012The product is much better than my last Garmin. I purchased it because of the lifetime maps and traffic. I use it whenever I travel out of the city. My android phone is just more convenient for city navigation because I always travel with my phone. I used my Garmin on a trip from New York City to Sesame Place and Hershey Park. On both trips, I was diverted off the normal highway route. I assume that this happened because the device saw traffic problems ahead. However, the device never told me that I was being diverted because there was a traffic problem ahead. Both diversions led to a longer travel time, but how long would it be if I went through the traffic? Otherwise, it is a much better product than my older Garmin.
