Smaller initial difficulties in switching on the device (such as the power button will take time to respond), were soon forgotten, and it was clear that Becker has been working to improve on previous versions.

This has no gps safety camera alerts and traffic messages, which seems a bit misleading, given the model is called "Traffic Assist".

On the way, the differences between this model and Becker had previously tested models clear. Gone are the bland gray and white are used in the mapping, in its place-contrast colours that are to help ensure that everything clearer. Route indicators and other symbols are bigger - this all contributes to an improved user experience.

The quick menu uses words instead of confusing icons that we have seen before, allowing faster access to quite a few settings and options.

A remarkable feature of this model is to see the map on the roundabout. The view is very large and the exact position of the vehicle is represented on the carousel, so it is easy to see which exit you turn right at the stop.

The way the information provided is also useful. Although small, the pop-up-down arrows appear, as well as urban interchanges. For some this seems a large blue banner also (like road signs), with arrows showing the right way.

This SA aisle unit is very easy to use and has clear graphics. However, it was not a name that does not come with the camera or traffic information.
