I purchased this GPS for my motorcycle and was especially attracted to the size and portability. I have a touring bike and not a lot of room on the handlebars for accessories. This GPS is very accurate. Due top its size, some of the street names displayed on the top of the screen are written too small, however, the map makes up the difference. Amazingly, for being outside the screen resolution is actually pretty good and I make adjustments to compensate so this is a minor problem. I wish there was a capability to connect a headset to hear the voice direction, but overall, I find that following the map is not difficult while riding. The lack of a lane recommendation does cause some problems in that I have been in the wrong lane sometimes, but this is not the norm. The traffic feature is so-so, in that I have gone into traffic and was warned later and the re-route is not user friendly. You could a lot more out of GPS, but you would have to pay a lot more. I have a much more expensive system made by a competitor in my car, however, the size and weight difference would not make this practical on my motorcycle. I like this product for what it is used and would recommend this to anyone looking for a good, low dollar GPS, that is incredibly accurate.
