"Not worth $50.00 really."
Pros: Works with the alpine head unit
Cons: Not accurate, Software has many "Bugs"
Summary: Unfortunetly, I bought the head unit first - I'm still getting rid of it. This is my fourth nav unit in about 8 years so I know what to expect. Miss an exit? rerouting will take always you back 5 miles to the original exit. I was told by the dealer that was an issue with the previous one and just to cancel the destination and restart it. Yeah, That,s why I paid so much for it.
It tells you to take a left at the next exit when the screen clearly shows a right turn.
You really have to be watching the screen as mostly all nav units today will alert you at every turn within a realistic distance to the turn. Not this one, have a couple of highway entrances close to each other. Take a guess. The more I use the more problems I find.
I had an old Navman from years ago, before navigation was popular. I thought I was upgrading. Wrong, even though the maps were outdated it was much better. I regret I gave it to my parents when I bought the new one.
Bluetooth, even when installed in the head unit, the sound quality is POOR on the other end. NOT even usable really. Everyone asks me what am I talking on? Way too much background noise.
I CHALLENGE SOMEONE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ALPINE TO GIVE A GOOD REVIEW!!!!!!
