"Great GPS for the price!"
Pros: Clean & clear display. Very user friendly. No software to load, connect to the internet for updates. FM Transmitter for your car radio is great feature.
Cons: Using the unit as a portable device (not using the fm modulator) volume is not very loud. Very slow to respond to points of interest. As of today (3/6/06) website is not available for updates.
Summary: Great unit for the price. Very easy to use. Great battery life. The MP3 player is a nice added feature. There is no disc to load, just plug in the USB cable and download software & map updates directly from the internet.
Very easy to use the 6 million points of interest, just very slow to load.
Built-in traffic receiver is a great feature but only available in large metropolitan areas.
Direction and navigation are very quick to respond but the arrow seems to be a bit slow or located low on the screen but the audible prompts are 100% accurate or right on queue. Connection from the unit to mounting device (cradle) is very small and fragile.
