"Other products are better than this GPS"
Pros: U can find pros from other reviews
Cons: Lot of cons - can't fit here - Pl check my summary
Summary: I purchased this GSP 2 weeks before and started using it right from day one. Faced following issues:
- Entering address - made it too complicated. On GPS 90% of time user enter/find addresses and Nokia made is that screen itself complicated.
- It has multimedia features. FM transmitter doesn?t work well (at least in my 2 cars). Has noise and not able to hear proper music / road instructions. Secondly you can watch movies once you reach to destination ? but u can?t charge it in room. Only way u can do it with computer USB cable. If I have computer with me ? why I will watch movie on this 4.3? screen.
- Maps are on ONLY SD card i.e. this device doesn?t store maps on its local hard disk. So 2GB SD card which comes with device is not sufficient for music/photos/movies and maps. When u take photos on your camera?s SD card ? u will have to copy them on the GPS SD card so that you can get navigation map and your photos. Boss ? r u really going to use your computer to copy photos to this GPS SD card while you are on trip? Same point ? if u have computer ? why will I watch photo on this 4.3?. (Same goes for music files). It's only good if u get high capacity SD card and dump - movies/photos/music all at once and don't change it for long time. But I don't think someone do that :(
- When I try to enter my street address ? it doesn?t find it ? but I can see my street name on map (when I zoom it and navigate manually). Dam ? u r lucky to know there is problem in finding your address though it is there on the map ? but now I don?t know how many such faulty cases are there with outdated map software. I can understand that it is not on map and will not able to find on search screen b'cos of old map software - but this not the case here.
- Base line ? it has so many features ? but can?t use them efficiently. And that remains with only GPS ? why will I buy this with out-dated maps. Lot of better devices are there if I only have to get basic navigation.
Giving 2 stars just b?cos Nokia might have realize these issues and that?s why kept so low price to flush their product.
