I was thinking of what really need to be improved on the Garmin GPS. Don't misunderstand, I love my GPS but there is room for improvement. These are my complaints.
1. Street name too small -- The small screen does NOT allow you to use more than 7 or 10 characters. This is too small and makes it difficult to read because the name is truncated! I know for a fact, more characters can be used but the sofware will have to move other objects around. The street name is critical for the cyclist who is using this product to navagate and it makes it much easier to see Main Boulevard instead of Main Bo!
2. Routes list only numbers! -- I could not believe how Garmin does not list the name of the street when you're following a route?? When I create a route with street names, they don't pop up until you're really close to the destination! The upcoming street name should ALWAYS appear on the unit not some abreaviated number! Incredible.
3. Map Software incorrect --- I've discovered at least two errors in the map software so I suspect there may be countless. In one case, the map software pointed me to a train station that was not operational in nearly 70 years! This wouldn't be so bad but it's automapping feature tends to choose the interstate!
