It really is easy! I charged it up, read up on a few things and took it with me to the city . On the way home, I stuck it up on the front window, set up my destination (home) and off I went. I made some kind of mistake at first because it was directing me uptown instead of downtown. It kept telling me it was recalculating or something.
Anyway, I reprogrammed it (at a red light) and it took me right home. It's a nice female voice and she tells me how many miles I have to go before turning on whatever street, left or right. Actually, she's kind of a nag - I expected to get yelled at for not turning because the light was red!!
I love it and can see how helpful this is when you're in unfamiliar territory. I have to finish seeing what else it does. I do wish I could have a choice of a sexy male voice, but ......
I''ll let you know what else it does. I definitely recommend it.
One thing - it tells you, for example, to make a left on 14th Avenue in 1 tenths of a mile. I don't think in miles, nor know how to judge them. But I figured out that a city mile is about 21 blocks, so 10% is about 2 blocks. That makes 1 tenth 2 blocks, and so on. I'll have to get used to it. Out of the city, I haven't got a clue.
