Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Ok, I got this GPS because all the features looked great on paper. Maps of Canada were included and also it had a SD expansion slot. NO TTS, but thats ok. 6 million POIs is more than most. Took it for a drive the first day and it could not find a cold stone creamery near me. ITs been around for a couple of years, so right off the bat I was disappointed with the POIs. Then I asked it to take me home - at night - bad idea... not only did I end up in downtown, but most of the turns were under construction or non-existent. I had to shut it off eventually. It is rather good at recalculating the route though - only once did it ask me to take a U-turn (too bad it was on a state highway).
It is also rather sluggish to recognize my selections and sometimes hangs up in the middle of inputting addresses. Very distracting.
Not all is bad thought. I later tried sitting in my house and trying to pull up various routes and it did an admirable job - most routes were very similar to Google Maps. It acquires a lock very quickly and as stated above, recalculated routes quickly and efficiently.
I need a basic GPS to guide me around, and I guess I will be returning this one due to the old maps.
Also, the warranty is only 90 days and not 2 years as stated here.
