Comment:

If not for being discounted and on sale, I would not have purchased this GPS. It ended up costing about [$] dollars from [...]right before Thanksgiving. My only real complaint was the lack of an included AC charging cord - only an automobile charger comes with. The menu is a little skimpy as are the results, but you get what you pay for. I purchased it for vacations when you travel point A to point B.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
