Pros
Compact
Cons
The connector falls apart
The power adapter sucks
Best Uses
Casual use
Comment:
I use it for my job picking up customers and returning them to a Ford Auto Dealer. I have to take it out of the vehicle each day and the GPS end of the power cable falls apart. I have tried various methods of beefing it up, but nothing has worked so far. I am on my 5th cable so far.

Bulky
Inaccurate
Best Uses
Comment:
this unit can not be updated. the maps are from 2009 and the manufacturer insignia which is owned by bestbuy/future shop does not have any updates for this unit. the start up time is extremely slow and so is the time it takes to give directions. <br /><br />save your self the trouble and go with a garmin.

Comment:
Well,as a Garmin and Tom Tom user,this is not up to par(not even close)Slow to acquire satellite lock and short battery life this GPS is only passable.I paid [$] for it and so the price wasn't bad but any more would be a joke.Could not get a lock during setup so i waited and waited until the battery recharge message popped up.I am using my Magellan Maestro 4700 from now on.
