Some deficiencies compared to Garmin
It goes without saying that this unit needs a lot of space. It is about 4 times the size of a 4.3 inch screen. I have used the unit for more than 5,000 miles in a Sprinter based RV, I also use a Garmin 765 at the same time so the comparison is between these two for navigating.
The Snap7 has several outstanding features which I really love. The large screen displays more information than the Garmin, including miles and direction for the second turn as well as next turn, speed, distance and time to destination and very good lane information. In a city, it does a much better job of showing which lane to use than does the Garmin. I especially like the feature that it will zoom out to either 5 mi/in or 20 mi/in range until close to the next manuever. It does a beautiful job of showing terrain like mountains, lakes and city boundaries. Useful on a cross-country trip. It is excellent as a second unit
The negatives- The screen is hard to see in bright light,...

great GPS
The big screen works great if you can find somewhere to put it (I mounted it in the CD tray which is below the radio in my accord.) The mount is strong with three way movement, but the suction cup slips loose easily with the softest touch of the loosening tab, which can be annoying. The screen is easy to read, with good colors and picture, and the sound is easily loud enough for the highway in my car (full volume). The options and features are great. They could be overwhelming for people who want to click and go, but the simple mode is simple enough. You have to play with it for a little while to learn your way around all the features, but you can do almost anything you want as far as navigating. The bottom line is you don't get weather and traffic, but for relatively cheap you get a huge screen and a great navigator. The nav is fast and accurate, and the voices are great.
