does it actually show the hwy and buildings like it shows, it doesn't for me?

On interstates it shows fairly accurate exit signage and lanes, making it look somewhat realistic but not actual buildings anywhere.

No, it doesn't show the buildings. Sometimes shows the highway, usually when there is multiple complicated lanes.

It shows the roads, and signs when getting ready to get off a ramp or turn however it do not show the buildings.

I have the same question. The road that shows on the menu bar is the next street you will be turning on. How can you get it to display the street you are presently on?

That doesn't appear to be an option. If they are obstructing your ability to see the routes driven, zooming in the map might be helpful.

There is an 'up ahead' feature that displays on the right side of the screen. You can choose what to display (up to 3) and it shows (typically) next gas, next rest stop, next food (on your route). If you don't have a destination it won't display anything in this area. If there is a traffic issue ahead, that will display in this area instead but can be "X" closed if you wish.

Yes, it shows your location on google maps, but it's not accurate, you better find a better option.

No. It's only good for free lifetime map updates. You'll have to get the next one up that gives you traffic updates.

Yes, arrow will show you the way. It wont show you a map, but I always carry a topo map as a back up to see the terrain features. . You wont go wrong with this little gps. If you have the money to buy a very expensive one with map features, like the one I have, go ahead and get it. But I got this for my f a ther in law who is a simpleton. He loves it

I do NOT believe there is. I am using their "Content Manager" to keep my content GPS updated and it's as slow as the first day I got it. Many times I've already passed a road and/or executed a turn by a couple of seconds before my position is actually recognized (and I am talking about suburbs with no building obstructions.) If you are reading this before purchase, do yourself a favor and consider something else.

No. Stick with the usual car navigation. It is so small that you won't be able to really see it nor be guided by it.

Yes it shows rest area's and truck stops as well as food and I think it also shows motels only real complaint and its true of all GPS units the updates are always on the rest area's truck stops and food not always on the roads your planning to travel on it's kind of an irritation since your charged for updates of 89.00 on basically a yearly basis I wish all gps units would work with google as their road maps are more up to date than anyone else

Yes. You can read the street names - almost better on the B/W printed version than on the color screen.

No, it is not accurate, per se because to get all the tracks in the map, I'm sure, it had to be modified for the game. It's still a good map, IMO. The cities are not in a English spelling manner though. I liked that because I had to look some of them up in the Dictionary.

Ok thanks. I thought mine was broken since I set its preferences to Avoid U-Turns and it was still telling me to "make a U-turn". For some reason it does not have oneway street info for at least two cities here in Oregon with populations over 12000.

Yes it does. Got a great view. The only thing I wish was that I bought the one with camera built into the license plate frame. I had to fabricate one.

When you enter the route you want, the unit will show you one route. You can only change the route by adding way points. I wish it would give you at least one more option to choose from, but this unit doesn't.

Yes it does and is very easy to read. It will also show major roads and names as you expand the map

I can't recall seeing traffic lights or speed cameras on the Nav. It does show the speed limit for every road you are on, though.
