Someday I'll post a review here.
We are planning a trip to Arizona sometime in the spring. The intent is to cover the whole state.
Being retired and financially "OK" we have no time limit but expect that it will take us from the Canyon to Tucson with everything in between (not Phoenix?Scotsdale as we lived there many moons ago) over a two or three week (or longer) period of time.
This poor mans nav could help, I suppose.

It will be great for your purposes as I think it has one of the best POI (Point Of Interest) databases. |

| Kris, you had issues with the battery? So far mine is still working fine. |

| Kris |
Yes,
I had to change the battery in my unit. Just checked out my wife's unit - it requires a new battery as well. Not a big deal as I purchased 2 of them. It will take me approximtely 15 min to put a new battery in. |
