I had an older Magellan a few years back and after a while I decided that I needed a larger screen. That's about the time the Rand 7710 came out. I wanted it because of the 7" screen. I have since upgraded to the 7720 which i great. When setting up a route you can choose one of two choices which I like. It does take a while to get to know any GPS unit out there. The best thing is to download the manual and use it to figure out how to work it. (Rand and Garmin both have manuals) None of them are perfect and it will take some time to get familiar with a unit. That said I really like the RM 7720.
