fast search and recalculations
petrol prices
accurate maps
maps can be saved and loaded from PC either whole of europe or just country or region of interest. |
added POI have to go into a different file and thus second search. |

New maps are excellent for USA and Europe
USA traffic is also very nice
Google search works very well
Flight Status is also very nice feature |
Does not update using the cellular network
Scrolling on maps is very primitive
Creating/changing Routes is also primitive |

3g information (when I can get it). Clear screen, the traffic info seems useful. It shaved 30 to 45 minutes from my trip from the catskills to Long Island. |
Not all street names are accurate. Sometimes it recalculates at the worst times. The route choices are based on a major flaw- street traffic is assumed to always travel at the posted speed & does not take red lights into account. |

740 Live - IQ Routes
Garmin 1690 - 2YR data plan included; MRC for data services is to be lower than TomTom Live services |
740 Live does not announce on which side of street destination is; it shows it visvually via an arrow.
740 Live sometimes will reboot while in use. Slow to recalculate route. |
