Awesome multifunctional GPS

"There are lots of cool things about this GPS unit! A few of my favorites are that you can remove all of the languages and accents that you don't want, which will free up disk space for MP3s. I actually freed up about 300MB of space by removing (backed them up on my computer) all non-English languages and the male voices for American, Australian, and British English.

Almost perfect...

These 3 features made me decide to buy the unit (even though I have a perfectly functioning TomTom One). It's neat to hear the streets spoken instead of it just saying "Turn Left in a quarter mile". The traffic service is free for 3 months. Regarding the blu..." Read Full Review »
