Heh, very accurate. Why, Garmin, why? They do this all the time. My 705 never worked correctly with Routes, only the Courses worked--so no countdown to the next turn, just a purple line to follow.
The 520+ was postponed from it's announced ship date after dcrainmaker found it stalled when navigating on map areas with dense roads. And it (along with some other Garmin models) takes
many minutes to load and process a route.

Feeling the competition, I suppose they rushed out the 520+.
