With the Trip Planner, you need to interact with it briefly after each stop, selecting the next destination. This feature was buried so deeply on the 2xx0 series that I missed it entirely. Some other important features introduced on previous generation nuvis, which are also found on the LMT:.
POI searches seem significantly faster than on other recent models. And routing speed is somewhat faster than on my LT with the trafficTrends historical road speed database enabled on both units. I definitely see differences and they generally seem to be better choices.
