While the GPS is handy, I find myself looking up places that are no longer there. Look for a Radio Shack and sometimes you get a hair salon who took over the lease since the data was updated. I must say that I always get where I'm going with the GPS and sometimes even learn a new way to get there, but it is not always as accurate as it could be. I have a Nuvi 750 and I can play verbal instructions, MP3s, and audio books over the FM transmitter. That is cool and the GPS breaks in once in awhile with directions and then back to your music. If it just had a microphone and bluetooth, I would definitely upgrade so I could have hands-free phone. I hooked up my Motorola SmartPhone to it and I can check voicemail over the FM transmitter, but cannot speak back to it. I also like the on-road/off-road option so you can carry it hiking. Not as good as others for hiking, but passable. Also in busy metro areas while on walk-about. I also have the VW van icon and a very sexy Aussie lass(language setting) getting me where I need to go.
