Got something to say?
This Product does what it says on the tin
but
route 66 does not support it
so impossible to find map updates
which makes this product useless
Driving in Dublin Ireland it was bring me down Right turns
which you could not turn any more
Tested same road with Garmin and did not try to make right turn
