We like:

Bluetooth hands-free calls; fine-tuning destinations; custom POIs and safety cameras; route speed

We don't like:

Unintuitive interface; no free map updates; cheap looking casing; no TMC traffic information; volume control hard to access

But perseverance does have its rewards and you will find a set of useful options thrown in, including Bluetooth hands-free calls and the ability to add your own custom POIs and safety camera alerts directly from the interface
