Just completed a weeklong trip in Michigan, Ontario, and northern New York. Have never been in these areas so relied heavily on the GPS. We fondly named the voice behind the GPS, “Greta Garmin.” Greta was a life-saver. At first we had to get used to allowing her to direct us. Some directions were not intuitive to us, but ended up being right on virtually all of the time. A couple of times Greta had a hard time re-calculating because I had left the route to buy gas or a meal, but she quickly recovered. She got very mixed up as we crossed the border from Canada into the US at the Ambassador Bridge from Detroit to Windsor, but there were signs that said “don’t follow your GPS.” Also had some difficulty finding the rental car return at Detroit airport (using a business address), but by the time we got to the airport, we should have just been following the rental car return signs anyway. For someone who needs a GPS for occasional use and does not want/need all the bells and whistles, this is a great machine.
