Does this model notify you if routes include gravel roads or toll roads?

It allows you to avoid unpaved roads and toll roads in the settings. Additionally it says "this route has tolls" for routes with tolls. I've never gone on an unpaved road so not sure if it warns for those or not.

Yes it does. I didn't know it had this feature and was pleasantly surprised to automatically get notices of traffic delays and "faster route" displays on the Garmin. I really like the Garmin, but it doesn't give much audible notice of upcoming left and right turns until it is too late to safely make lane changes.

User manual reads (pg7) Traffic on Your Route: When a traffic delay occurs on your route, an alert appears on the map, and the device calculates an alternate route to avoid the delay. You can choose whether to use alternate routes automatically, or upon request.

Yes it does, not only does the app let you know if there is an police band radar in the area but it warns you of known speed traps from past compiled info from past user reportings.

Hello Daina,I don't know if there is an option in the setting that would permit this...It only loads the best rout that it calculates to be the best option. If you connect it with the traffic sensor, and depending on the traffic in your planed rout, it may give a new option (route), and let you know how much time you could save... You will however, have to accept the suggestion before your GPS could implement it (the new route )...Have a great day,Kevin

Nothing that I've noticed except for a slightly smaller screen. I travel a lot off of recognizable roads that are on the garmin maps but the "tracks feature" draws a line everywhere I've driven even if the GPS does not recognize a road.

It is a continuously-updated feature, but not 100% accurate. The updates rely on what has been reported by state/county DOT sources, which are not 100% accurate. Therefore, sometimes you will find traffic jams from accidents, which may not be reported, or delay notifications on the Garmin which are not actually there (no construction on Sundays, for example). Needless to say, this is a newer technology that compliments your own common sense about traffic conditions.

No it don't, but it does show your sapped and the speed of the area you are in.

Yes, you can select fastest time, shortest distance, most use of freeway, least use of freeway & avoid toll roads.Before buying, I went to Magellan's site & downloaded the user manual for the model (I usually do this as part of my decision process); that helped me to decide.

Yes. I spot checked a few places and it appeared to show the roads normally.

No, it will tell you miles left on the planned route, and estimated time of arrivable.

Not really. I've only used my Edge 800 for route directions once. With the Edge 800, you're simply notified visually on destination distance and turns. I also have a Garmin Nuvi. The Nuvi is far less expensive, has a larger screen, gives audible directions with the simple input of an address, not to mention traffic problems too. (Oh yes, it's far less expensive too.) You don't have this with the Edge 800.

If I understand your question. Yes. If your on a road that commercial vehicles are not allowed on, it will tell you. Hope that answered your question.

Yes; it shows the speed limit and automatically will re-route you; make sure you have used the garmin website software to update map software; you need to download the software and update the units; I have 4 garmin units all work similar in functions.

Yes it tells you what roads u can and can't go on with ur truck. U can switch it from car to truck or vise versa. U can pick ur own alerts and set it up the way u want. But the answer to ur question is yes. It gives u the best route without takin u on roads or bridges that trucks can't go on. But I always double check my routes anyway to be safe. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. Nice little unit. Easy to use. A little slow with funding alternate routes and traffic warnings. Still, got me around stand still traffic on I94 and from Chicago IL to Grand Rapids Mi without incident and hardly used any freeways in MI due to treacherous snow conditions. Only took an extra hour and I just followed the directions.
