"Great product for this price. nothing fancy. just basic GPA"
Pros: Accurate. pick up signal quickly. fairly slim
Cons: 3 hour battery. windows CE as OS
Summary: I got this as a black friday deal. If you just need a basic GPS without all those fancy functions as MP3, image viewer, etc, this is exactly what you should buy. It pick up signal, route and re-route very quickly. Compared to other product in the same price range (Garmin c330), it is pretty slim and portable.
I've heard people talking about two cons before I bought it. #1, after a while, you have to reset the unit. It uses windows CE. once you turn off the power, it actually turns into sleep mode instead of really shutting down. If you treat a PC this way, probably you will have to re-boot the PC every several days as well. #2, sometimes, it could ask you to turn right, then make a U-turn instead of asking you to turn left at the first place. It happens to me only when I am off the main road, eg, in the parking lot of a shopping mall. So, both cons are minor issue at least for me.
I use it to nevigate in mid-size city area. and it is very accurate so far. I like it
