Great unit other then MSRP
Pros: Geo-tagging is great. 4.3" screen is crisp and bright.
Hands free blue tooth with phone is awesome and WAY easier then trying to find my phone while driving
Cons: Satellite syncing takes a minute sometimes. Hard to use while driving (Not that you should use it while driving)
Review: Split screen navigation with map/info is great, can see est. arrival time and list directions while still viewing map. rare in other units. Geo-tagging pictures leaves co-ordinates. Can find this unit online for more reasonable price points then the initial one. Great value for the $300+shipping on auction sites.

Review: OK I HAS A CAMARA, BUT NO FLASH COULD NOT EVEN THINK OF USING IT IN NIGHT, MOVIE PLAYERS COOL BUT I HAVE TO COMPRESS ALL MY MOVIES TO FIT IN A 2 GB SD CARD, AND MY BATTERY RUNS FOR 3 HRS TOPS THATS NO MUCH FUN, THEN I SAID BLUETOOTH I HAVE A HANDS FREE AND CAN LOOK FOR PHONE BY LOCATION AND CALL THAT IS IF MY PHONE AND GPS EVER LOCATED EACHOTHER OR COMUNICATED NEVER GOT IT TO WORK TRIED EVERYTHING. MP3 WAS OK.. PICTURES VIERS WAS OK. SCREEN IS JUST TO SMALL CANT SEE THE NAME OF STREETS AND IM 28 IMAGINE A 55 YEAR OLD GUY USING THIS.. THE DOBLE SCREEN IS A GOOD FEATURE BUT IT REALLY DOSENT DO MUCH FOR ME THAT OTHER GOOD GPS AL READY DO.. VOICE COMANDS I THINK THIS IS A GOOD FEATURE BUT NO OUT OF THE ORDANARY OLDER GPS HAVE THE FEATURES, AND KNOW A DAYS THE TELL YOU THE NAME OF THE STREET BY NAME IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH,]] OK SO I WHANT MEXICO Y USE MEXICO A DRIVE IN MEXICO AL THE TIME..

i liked that one you cross the border the mexico and usa are instantanius but again the map dont check with the roads.
trafic reciver is good feature if it did not have a long antena to cludder up you space,
