"Good product worth the money spent"
Pros: Sleek stylish design
Cons: Nothing yet
Summary: I bought this for 2006 Thanks giving on 24th in costco. I immediately openened and installed in the parking lot itself (So easy and quick to install). It took me home from there.It surprised me showing a new route too. Its quck in recalculating the map. Good satellite pick up. Know what? I am not using the supplied mounts. I put it on the dashboard right above the steering wheel. It just hides the RPM meter. But why would u need RPM in normal circumstances! Later I atteched the machine to the glass with reclosable sticker (the ones used to fasten shoes and cloths). Perfect fitting!
One thing I might say here. It sounds a bell so accurately when a turn comes. So you wont miss a turn. Anyway u are at the freedom to purposefully miss turns! Night view too is excellent! Mail me to go4nat@gmail.com if u want to know more.Updated
Its back is sleek when compared with its competitor's cone sheped back.Updated
No. it doesn't.
The whole point of a GPS navigation is you must be care-free while driving. It is like some person sitting with map next to you and giving directions. Suppose he says "Take right turn on 4th st". What will you do? He is shifting some of his responsibility to you. You must look for which is 4th street.
If it is dark and you dont have a street sign, you may again ask him if the next street is 4th street.
But this GPS system shows your path on the 3D map in pink color and it gives the following alerts:
Display
1.Direction of next turn (left symbol or right symbol or freeway merge/exit symbol)
2.Remaining distance to next turn from where you are
3.Name of the current St. and name of the street which you need to proceed with
Voice
1."(Left/Right/Free way exit/ Free way entrance) in x mile(s)"
2. "Proceed to take (Left/Right/Free way exit/ Free way entrance)" when u approach the turn/exit
3. "Take (Left/Right/Free way exit/ Free way entrance) [and followed by a keep to the (right/left)]" when you are in 0.1 mile
4. A bell sound as you reached the turn
Do u still need the street name to be spelled?
