1) VERY compact -- easily able to fit in a breast pocket
2) Text-to-Speech -- announces proper street names, not just "turn
left in 500 feet"; radically reduces how much you need to look at the
screen to figure out the real instructions; wouldn't own a GPS unit
wihtout this
3) Bright Screen -- readable in virtually every situation
AND
Faster location of the GPS satellites. This turns out to be quite
important in day-to-day use. In the other systems, it wasn't unusual
that we could be driving for a couple minutes before it located the
satellites and could give us directions. With this unit, the satellites
are located almost as quickly as the unit fully starts up.
One comment on how we use this: We don't mount it on the dash board or
on the window (which is technically illegal here in California).
Instead we just lay this on the center console in our van or car. The
antenna system is plenty sensitive to work just like this and we've
never lost the satellite signals except in tunnels.
We also like all the potential of the traveling features (clock,
calculator, etc.), but this is the one to own even if you just use it
for the basic GPS features.
Very impressed.
