90% really like, but....
GPS great....manual very explicit......easy to understand and follow.
However, Page vi of owners manual includes an optional "US A/C, PC Adapter", which is not available.
Had to purchase an additional "USB Data Card Programmer" to transfer MapSource data to the required data card.
