Product Summary
Alpine PMD-B200 Blackbird II
price range: $550.00
The Alpine PMD-B200 is a decent portable navigation system, with good Bluetooth integration and traffic services. But the lack of text-to-speech functionality and inefficient route recalculations doesn't make it worth the high price tag.
