Customer Review: Decent but has a flaw
I bought this model for my wife and she has been pretty happy with it. Compared to the built-in GPS in my Mazda this unit is inferior. It is slower and has fewer features and the turn-by-turn directions are not as accurate. It is very easy to use and does a reasonable job. A couple of times it had the last turn to a destination wrong as it told us to turn right when it was a left turn. I suppose when you're within a couple of blocks of your destination it doesn't really matter much under most circumstances, but it was a bit disappointing as my Mazda's unit has never done that. Another flaw is that it will not let you look up rural addresses. So, if you are looking for a rural route address such as 3W121 it will let you look up an address with that format. This is a huge flaw. Again, the built-in unit in my car has no trouble doing this. The unit is very easy to use and the touch-screen is nice. Be sure to at least get a wide-screen unit it makes a pretty big difference.
Customer Review: I should have bought a Garmin
I bought this around last Christmas and it really only worked properly for about two months. Several times I have seen it mysteriously already turned on when I've gone to use it and yes, I know for certain that I shut it off prior. Once I actually saw it power up on it's own from across the kitchen. I live by myself and do not believe my property is on some native burial ground. When it works, it works great but too often my device does not connect to a GPS signal or even turn on properly. I treat my electronics with care so I do not believe it has anything to do with the way that I handle it. When I was seeking a GPS device, I went with the cheaper TomTom despite being advised to go with Garmin. I should have listened.
