I agree.

I agree.

Look for Lifetime maps / free traffic !!!

It's oh so convenient, and I assume you're looking at the 465T ? There's a 465LMT which has those.

Oh - they now have the 560LMT as well.

I just ran a comparison between those two, there's minimal differences.

The 560 has a larger screen, is 20 grams heavier, and uses Micro SD card rather than a regular SD card.

The last detail is the price tag: about $400 for the 465LTM, and about $530 for the 560LTM.

I guess the choice is yours now smile Drive safely !

As with any update, the difference will be updated roads and updated POIs.

I haven't see a glitch with it, works fine for me.
