which on highway at over 100 will become 10mm and will become really hard to follow the &quot;small texts&quot;  (as for example the distance to destination) - I can tell that I can read a car plate at over 100 m and is extremely hard to read something on this device at normal speed on highway; (I have 3 devices one garmin nuvi 360 , one Mio520 and this one - all of them was used into the same spot on windscreen on the same car on the same roads but only this behave like this ) - standby time - if you&#039;ll forget this device in stand by for 3 hours you are not able to get to your car by foot from 1 Km;

every time you enter in navigation is annoying and to don&#039;t auto escape from this in 30s is STUPID) - after the second forced choice &quot;ok&quot; for the safety   (I&#039;ve tried to chose &quot;cancel&quot; and the software didn&#039;t allow me to operate the navigation - I wonder why?!?!?!?) the device remain into one UGLY and CONFUSING menu; from this menu you are forced to push 2 small &quot;soft buttons&quot; to get into map (this should be default screen with a quite easy access menu button)- the most annoying fact is if you leave it &quot;without&quot; any touch it will remain forever in that stupid menu and it will start to tell you various thing from the map and you are not able to understand what or to see them (for example it start to scream &quot;beware&quot; - but you are not able to understand what about) - if you managed to get into map and just want to browse around (for example you wait into one traffic jam and you&#039;ll need to see where is the first exit or the next parking with WC) by touching the map nothing happens (actually you can get into more trouble;
