Pros

Very detailed voice prompts
Large, finger-sized menus
Automatic re-routing
Easy to read "next turn" at the top of the screen
Quick program load time
Automatic Night time color mode
Speaks which road to take
Tells you what side of the road your destination is on
Names of exits on highway are on screen
Can give you directions when GPS is not connected

Cons

NO custom POIs
Map loader is horrible, you must select EITHER one city radius or entire states
Maps are huge
Maps are completely erased and re-built every time you load a new one
Maps take a LONG time to transfer
You can only use one map at a time
Voice prompts are almost too much, very talky
Nonintuitive interface
Destination and multiple stop routes are separated
Must manually tell the app to go to next stop
Dated interface
Display is ugly
Non-customizable voices
Non-customizable menu
Difficult to set up GPS

Tested on an Axim X50v with DeLorme Earthmate BlueLogger GPSr.
