At least, that's my experience with it...

I can't say for sure that I like the interface....But so far the navigation and voice guidance has been stellar IMO... You can crank the voice guidance up as much as you like...Which brings up the only dislike I have with the voice....To change the volume of the voice guidance, you have to wait for it to say something. There is no menu(that I could find) to pre-determine the volume...You have to wait for it to say something, then raise/lower it with the steering wheel's volume control..

My only other complaint, is that I have yet to figure out how to do a POI or a vicinity search...I've fallen in love with these features of my Pioneer Avic Z2, in which can all be done by voice command....I can tell it....POI search, or Vicinity search....Say Walmart...and dependant on what kind of city/town I'm in, it will usually come up with something...select it, and say set as destination...
As you saying that if you don't split the screen at first then the GPS will always be full screen when it is active?
No POI search?
Can you save a destination once it has been entered? Garmin would call this a "favorite".
I'm still concerned about maps of small cities, saying like Falcon, NC.
