The Touring removed some useful navigation features to make the device easier to use (doing that made the device less useful).
It's possible that the more-popular (or important) units get more attention to fixing bugs. (One reason, maybe, to avoided the Touring/Explore models.)
My older Touring did all that just fine, which was partly why I bought the same thing rather than upgrading. Unfortunately, they "fixed" something in a software upgrade somewhere, alas. (They did seem to fix the "make a u turn" bug where it would frequently get CONVINCED you missed a turn and needed to go back and do it, but that one was just annoying rather than show-stopping, because since restarting a route worked I'd just save and restart....)
Tax-free weekend this weekend, time to go shopping. And that means my husband can have the Touring for D2R2.
