"awsome for the price. but it has its flaws."
Pros: full mapping, navigation, great reception.
Cons: slow. not the most accurate. small display
Summary: the GPS V i bought on e-bay for only 150$ was a great deal. the maps are easy to read. the options are endless. and it only takes a day or so to learn everything about the GPS system. the detailed maps you can download to the device are expensive unless you use the old version included.
downloading maps are horrible it took 30 minutes to download 3 megs of maps to the reciver. also slow is routing, displaying maps, and zooming.
sometimes the accuracy of the mapping device is off. i will be driving down the freeway but the ap shows me 100 Ft to the left or right side of it... but this device is worth to me 250$ for how much it does do.

I program addresses that I know how to get to, then I ask for fastest way and it does not know and it makes me take slower ways instead, I have the version 6.8 software and it does not recognize roads that have been there for many years when it should. when driving on major highway it will sometimes actually show you off the road, might be satellite miscommunication flaw, or it is not actually very accurate.when driving it takes sometimes over 3 minuites to calculate and map the route if going out of town. actually I would not recommend this unit because you will get lost.
