Doesn't like the wind.
(4 out of 5) by A. A. Roeder on Apr 13, 2008 (Omaha, NE USA)I have had this gps for several years now, and it work flawlessly in the car...I have updated the maps twice and it has only gotten better...
It now has permanent placement on my motorcylce and it isn't the perfect gps for motorcycling...not because it is inaccurate, but because the touch screen is quite sensitive to swirling wind at highway speeds...that is to say that the screen changes by itself as you are riding along...you look at it and it may be on almost any of its many screen views. It is easy to get it to return to the screen that YOU want by using the BUTTONS, but it is an irritation.
The touch screen also doesn't work well with riding gloves on, but that has really not been a problem...if I need to change something major on the screen, I simply pull off the roadway, remove my gloves, change whatever I want, put on the gloves and ride on...no big deal.

(4 out of 5) by W. Comforter on Jul 6, 2008 (FL)It is a little difficult to learn but has more features than many of the easier units. I bought my wife a 330 and this one recalculates alternate routes quicker than the 330. Also, it decides sooner than the 330 that I actually want to be on the alternate route rather than nagging me for miles about turning back on the original route.
