Title: Not perfect
Review: The product was fun to use, once familiar with the various options. However, it frequently routed us over much longer routes than necessary. The program prefers driving the interstate. For example, driving from Phoenix to Maricopa City, it routed us south on I-10 way south of Maricopa and then backtracked - about 50 or so miles out of our way, since there is a long established road through the Indian Reservation that goes directly to Maricopa City. The same thing happened going from El Paso to Austin Texas. We were routed south to San Antonio and back north to Austin, essentially two legs of a triangle, instead of driving through Fredericksburg, a 4-lane direct route. In other words, we had to have prior knowledge of where we were going and insert intermediate way points to get the program to map the direct route.
