(More customer reviews)I love this GPS. I also have a TomTom 720 and like some features of it better than the Magellan, but I also like some features of the Magellan better. One feature that not many people mention that makes this Magellan (and some Garmins) a winner is that it says which side of the street the destination is located on at the time of arrival. This small feature is very big in my book since the TomToms so not have this feature and I really missed it... until getting this Magellan. Also the mount on this GPS is excellent and stays put. Battery life is better than the TomTom, but in reality, the battery life on virtually all GPS units is very poor. The screen is too bright at night and it cannot be dimmed, even though it changes to night colors at sunset. The voice is clear and easy to understand and plenty loud enough. The big downside to most all brands other than TomTom is the inability to get regular updates and road corrections by simply plugging into the computer and running a specific program. TomTom GPS units really steal the show in this area and the reason I have two. I have not tried the live traffic feature on the Magellan since I do not live or travel through cities, but I can imagine that it would be very useful. Together the two units offer the best combination of features. Both supposedly have over 5 million POIs each and that is an important feature for me as well. The Magellen is much easier to use and less complicated with much more shallow menu depth. Overall, it is a real winner.
