We were using MS Streets and Trips on a laptop. While the screen is smaller the features are all there in a slim package that can be easily stowed. The built-in antenna a powerful plus. (One less cable to tangle!) We had great signal strength with the unit held in my lap.
Bought this over the Street Pilot 7200 for our RV; not sure the older firmware of the Street Pilot labels all the streets so it is less useful to browse as a map.
Haven't begun to explore the many other entertainment features yet. Hoping that I can download free E-books from our library that can be read on the unit (iPod will not work on this format). Not sure if the same as Audible.com format.
The re-routing occurs quickly and while my other program suggested u-turns, the 5000 provides a true re-route. The voice does sound annoyed announcing "recalculating"! |
