Pros: It is a wonderful tool to maneuver through congested cities.
Cons: New streets not updated enough and rural areas sketchy.
The Bottom Line: It's worth the money despite the minor frustrations. Even though the directions may be off sometimes, it's great peace of mind to know you aren't truly lost.
