Review The normal driving navigation is quite standard albeit with slightly more trip info available than other Garmin models. However the pedestrian mode I played with was a fresh new feature. It showed me how to get to my destination via public transport, which I find useful. The bad thing about the pedestrian mode is that the map doesn't move to keep up with my position and I ended up 'walking off the map' a lot. It was a hassle to constantly scroll the map up or down to keep with my position. Also, the reception on this thing isn't very strong either, but at least it's easy to use and the voice directions are clear.
What I like Easy to use. Accurate.
Pedestrian mode & clear voice instructions
What I do not like Reception is a bit weak
Maps in pedestrian mode don't relocate to keep up with user position
