I consider myself tech savy and what irritates me on this CN-GP50U is that when entering a city or street destination the field scrolls like a marquee and you can't see what you are typing (what is the logic behind that?). When you ask to display a category type like say, amusement parks, the display menu is tiny that it has to truncate the names. Some places have the same first names so you can't tell which is which because the display is too short (what happened to the 5" screen?). When entering a destination the option to choose a fast route or a short route is not available to you. You have to exit the destination entry menu and navigate into the Settings Menu and scroll several menus, almost to the end of 9 different setting menus to change the route type and then navigate backward and go back to re-enter your destination. The menus needs to be re-arranged to make it more easy and efficient. Wait and search for more reviews before buying because this is my experience with it. You don't want to spend $500 and feel like I do. I returned it after 2 days and got a refund. I don’t recommend this product right now because it’s a first generation.
