I just spent an hour experimenting with my Overland Nav system.
Things you CAN do while moving: Search for and Select POI by category, Select POI from Favorites, Activate navigation to these selected POI's.
You CANNOT use the screen keyboard to enter a POI search name or street address.
Disappointed in navigation accuracy: In a small town of 7,000, the GPS directed me across a suspended pedestrian bridge; directed me down a dead end street that was a through street 20 years ago; would not take me onto a major highway through town, though the road showed on the map.
Disappointed in numerous messages that I was "entering an area with no data" while these streets were on the map and these were major streets that have been here for 100 years.
I have a Garmin 3590LMT loaded with up-to-date NAVTEQ maps. I don't see any of these issues on that GPS. I suspect that the maps themselves might be visually correct but the database behind them might be poor.
I am leaving on a 7,000 mile trip in 2 weeks. I am concerned about what I will experience so I am bringing my portable Garmin.
