For our holidays, we went to Mas du Terme in France. Very nice place. The ideal trip to put the freedom bluetooth keychain gps to the test.
When I entered the address, the amAze software gave us the correct route, but we didn't want to go over Metz. So I had to put in a different city as destination, so the route would be recalculated. Onces we would be past the critical point, I would enter the correct address. So, we took a route over Brussels and followed the E19.
Before we made it to the border (Belgium - France), the amAze software made us leave the highway. This way we had to drive normal roads for a shortcut, which my wife really didn't like at all, but it saved us about 30 min.
That was the only time the software took us off the highway. The thing guided us perfectly to our destination and I must admit, a GPS is a handy thing to have. (you constantly know, how much kilometers you'll have to drive)
What really amazed me, was the speed it took up satellite signals. within 20 seconds the software was booted and the GPS had us located, while driving at the highway at about 130 km/h. Even the software was capable of downloading the maps at that speed.
Next time I will take the GPS - amAze combo for a test on foot in a city. I'll let you know, how much of mobility the combination really gives.
