"Great Unit"

by peshopavlov on July 18, 2006

Pros: Fast and accurate, great price, lots of features

Cons: No text to voice capabilities, does not come with a AC addapter
Summary: I bought it a week ago and put it to the test in my area. Works great and is very accurate, including the voice commands. It does not pronounce the names of the streets but it'll say turn right in (distance here)and alert you when you should be making the turn. I still recommend to check the map and use your common sense, not blindly following the voice commands due to changes to the road, construction, etc. and if you go off the way it calculated, it'll calculate a new route automaticly in less than a half a block. I love the feature where it can show you POIs on the map so you can find the closest gas station for example to the road you are on so you don't have go off your way.Also you can click on a POI icon on the map and will bring its info and ask you do you want to go there. The buttons on the side a very useful and allow fast and easy control of the unit ( compared to a friend of mine who has a Nuvi350: I can store my current location with 2 clicks for example) The unit allows to be customized including 10 or so different color schemes for the map view and different map views during the day and night. I like the detour option but havn't tested it in much detail ( there is not a lot of traffic in my commute and don't think I'll get myself stuck in traffic just to test the unit). Another feature I really like is while the unit is guiding you to your destination, you can go in the list of turns you have to make and exclude sertain roads you know might have been backed up (like with outgoing construction, heard on the radio there was an accident, etc.) and it'll calculate a detour.
