So far, I am heartily UNimpressed...
"Tweaks" in the display are not worth the dealer uptick. I can customize the startup display on my Gamin Nuvi 350 - in fact, my cat is who appears to greet me on startup...
Were it integrated into the sound system, so that it would mute the radio, THAT would be useful, but I see no reason at all to pay extra for the paltry "customized features" I read about here.
I had the OEM unit in my first MINI, and decided that there was just far too much upside to having a portable, so my second has the chrono pack there instead.

I DO like my Nuvi - best thing about it is how perfectly compact it is. That is why I bought it over all the others that I have used and researched (and that's a LOT of 'em!)
it's got plenty wrong with it too, but plenty that is very good.

For an incredibly simple, nearly invisible, no damage to or taking apart of the dash, cost-free installation idea, check my post here:
