The i5 is without a doubt, one of the best purchases I've ever made. The main selling point for this unit is it's size. It can do everything that other competitor's GPS units can do, and more, at a third of the size. If you've ever wanted a GPS on your motorcycle, the i5 is the real deal. The i5 gets a perfect score from me when it comes to ergo. Navigating through menus is quick and painless. It also has an auto-brightness setting that brightens or dims the unit's display depending on ambient lighting conditions. Even cooler, at night, the nav map changes it's color scheme to darker colors which is cool.
