    Purchased 4 of these nice units with lifetime update cards. No problems at all with these items. Just like new right out of the box, no scratches etc. Works very well even in the mountain regions Banff etc. No complaints other than they do not pick the shortest route, always directs to the main highway first then sorts thing out, minor thing. Great screen , very bright, changes when dark out. Excellent Unit. viewers found this helpful.   Was this review helpful to... Read more
