I am amazed and surprised by how much I love it in my new car.

Backing up I can better see cars coming down the parking lot alley that I otherwise would not have been able to see so well and the grid gives a very good sense of how far away the vehicle behind me is and the line I am travelling (avoiding riding into the grass). Still best used as an adjunct.

No learning curve.
