I bought the iCN650 because we were going to Sweden on holiday and the combination of driving on the right in a hire car with foreign place-names, maps and bifocals was becoming difficult. The unit performed superbly taking the hassle out of many miles of travel (about 2,000 miles it's a big country) There were times when it struggled to find stable satellite bearings especially when starting it up in a street with high buildings having copper roofs but we found by starting the satnav first then loading our other things like cameras, coats etc. By the time we had got the car moving it had sorted it's self out, also we found that there were certain dead spots where the signal was lost for about 20 seconds before the chirpy voice informed us to "continue for the next ----".
Having the full Euro maps ready loaded was superb and the level of detail was astonishing allowing us to explore forest roads we wouldn't have dared to use without knowing where it would take us as we didn't have a 4x4 and Sweden has vast areas of woodland and lakes.
