Part great and part lack of information. - When the program worked, it was excellent. The voice was clear and gave lots of interesting information. However, we had to stop for a one lane delay for about 15 minutes and it didn't work again until we were able to get lucky. I know I missed several because coming back I got some new ones I hadn't heard before. Then I tried to switch from the SOUTH one I took and move to the NORTH one but it would let me without the password. I had the password at the hotel on my computer. I came back for that and it didn't help. Then I called and got a nice person with an Indian accent who said I only had one direction for $15. That was a surprise so I just looked again and at the initial information can't find anything that says I bought one direction. The only reason I put #3 for this review is that the information given is so good. But I had planned to do the North route this afternoon and now, it is way to late and I have to leave tomorrow.
