Get the Navman iCN 630 instead

Pros: The Delphi Mobile Navigation is a clone of the Navman iCN 630. Both have sharp, bright screens and the voice for giving directions is loud and clear. The user interface is fairly intuitive, and you can store ~100 "favorite" destinations for quick and ea

Cons: The biggest downside is that Delphi provides only nominal support. Unlike Navman, Garmin, and Magellan, Delphi doesn't put out firmware updates to fix bugs and improve functionality. If you like what the Delphi has to offer, go for the Navman version in

Close to Magellan at half the price

Pros: 1. Display quality. 2. Ease of initial set up and use. 3. Comes fully loaded with accessories (2 mounts, carry case, AC input). 4. Clear, loud audible directions. 5. Good, reasonably sound directions. 6. Quick satellite reception and I am yet to los

Cons: 1. Be sure to by an extra SD card (256 MB will get you almost half the country). 2. No option for closest Points of Interest (can only search by area, and even then results are limited to indicated town). 3. No indication of highway exit numbers.
