This gps unit has all the features you need in a basic gps. A gps is suppose to get you places, this one dose that well and gives you the speed limit, has bike mode. All the things a gps is suppose to do. Also has a memory card slot so you can always update the maps when necessary
Despite this unit being solid I did send it back and order the exact same one only with lifetime map updates for $25.66 more. The way I see it there is no point in having a gps if you don't keep up to date maps and buying map updates not bundled with the units themselves is ridiculously expensive.
I would say lifetime map updates is a must for any gps and you should shop for one with this.
Also I would stick with the Garmins. Ihe mid range tomtoms barely have enough space to fit there current maps and when there maps grow beyond the point where they can fit there is no way to expand there memory making map updates impossible. The lower range tomtom's in the same range as this garmin cannot even fit there own current map update so you have no choice but to use whatever out of date map come preloaded. Also they have a
tendency to break when you try to update them or just stop working for no reason at all.
