Hi Carolyn, That is what attracted me to the Garmin app because it is a bit less complicated than Navigon. However, Garmin has a little work to do, but from what I have been reading, maybe they are not all that far off and there seems to be some interest in accessibility. I still find Navigon to be helpful despite the interface, but simplicity is important for sure. Scott
