My previous gpsr was a Venture HC, so I can't say anything about the
routing differences. And since I only bought it yesterday I still have
much to discover about the new unit. The buttons are the same, the
basic interface feels familiar, but obviously the details are
different.

If you have any specific question or situations to test, I can always
give it a try.

One *big* difference (not related to maps though) is that the GPS and
GLONASS reception is the best I have seen so far. Even inside my house
I get a fix.
