We had purchased this GPS a year ago and it’s a basic GPS with a great feature, the Traffic notification/detour capability.
Few days ago, we took a trip into Boston, about 50 minutes drive with no traffic. Checking the Google map traffic feature showed very heavy traffic on Rt93 N where it branched off from Rt 95 as well as the lower part of the Southeast Expressway (Rt 3).
When programmed for Chinatown as the destination, the GPS reported no traffic on route. I though something must be wrong. We then looked at the detailed route and saw it took some local streets and bypassed the heaviest section of Rt93 and got us back on to Southeast Expressway north of the congestion.
Even though about 1/4 of the drive was local street, the detour took an extra 10 minutes compare to a no traffic highway drive. When we drove over Rt93 at speed, we looked down and saw bumper to bumper traffic as far as we could see.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. I would prefer no one buys this GPS because it would put more people on the same road I took.
Aside from that, it does what it’s asked and have no problems so far. It’s a great price for a simple GPS with a great feature.
