overall satisfied but could be better April 10, 2008
The product has many good features. It has plenty of POI's and it is simple to use.
Cons:
- sometimes takes forever to find signal;
- outdated map, many roads not entered;
- does not differentiate between minor and main roads while routing, it often sends you through a road that is full of stop signs and parallel is a faster road;
- unit can be too quite because of the speaker on the back
Pros, I will not list, there are many and people usually take interest in bad things.
 Works great with lots of useful features. April 9, 2008
I have been using the unit for a week now in the LA area. I am pleasantly surprised by it's usefulness and much improved experience over a Garmin unit I was familiar with.
Features I liked the most:
- Detects when your going really slow in traffic and automatically gives you an indicator on the side to take a detour.
- Blue Tooth speakerphone works well although not perfect. Everyone could here me fine but they all said I sounded like I was talking through a pipe.
- Very accurate in properly detecting what I'm typing in.
- Easy to learn and I've found that after using it for only a week, I can quickly enter an address and be on my way.
- Reroutes within 1/2 to a full block after missing a turn.
- Screen size is plenty and gets the job done.
- Text to Speech works really well. Sure some street names sound robotic...but I found it to be very helpful and eliminated the need to look at the unit as much. The more your eyes stay on the road the better.
- Points of Interest seemed to work much better than a Garmin that my parents paid twice as much for.
- Allows you to decide traffic rules easily every time you select a new destination. Example: Avoid Freeways, Prefer Freeways...etc.
- You can click on any part of the route and choose to exclude it. This is HUGE!!!! for me. Sometimes these devices just pick a freeway or road that you know better than to take...but would still like some help from the device. The Magellan allows you to click on a road or freeway and exclude it and then it will re-route using a different option.
Most options for your money! April 7, 2008
This GPS gets me to and from where I need to go easily. The spoken street names is one of the best features. I also love the POI (points of interest). I was unsure of an area I was in and I looked up shopping. It asked details, like what type of shopping, and type of stores and narrrowed it all down for me easily. I am new in town and I have been able to find my way around without worry. I will be taking a 1300 mile trip soon and I am totally satisfied that this GPS will work great. I will update this after my trip has been taken. The price was also unbeatable! I paid 149.00, from Amazon. I did tons of research and couldn't find a price even close for the exact same GPS or ones with similar features!
pretty cool April 6, 2008
This gps system is pretty cool and has lots of features but get ready to start looking for updated maps as the ones that are preloaded are from 2006 I believe. All and all for the money I really do think it is really a great product.
excellent gps April 5, 2008
Overall its a great gps for its price and am satisfied with my first gps purchase. It starts up fast and receives a quick signal. Bluetooth is decent. I upgraded my firmware and poi without a problem. One major flaw is when scrolling through the map, it is fairly slow and doesn't respond well compared to a garmin 6xx series.
