No experience, but plenty of lust. It would work perfectly on my helm due to its wide screen and low height. My helm limitations are vertical so I went with their smallest screen and opted for SH instead of Navman/Northstar, which are taller. Mine works perfectly fine, but it lacks the soft keys placed along the bottom of the 500. Those soft keys are really nice for quickly accessing often used features.
Edited to add:
My mistake, it's the CP300 I lust for. It's got a wide screen. The 500 is way too big for my helm.
